Dm I was five, and he was six We rode on horses made of sticks Gm He wore black, and I wore white He would always win the fightDm Bang bang. He shot me down Bang bang. I hit the ground Gm Bang bang. That awful sound A Dm Dm Gm Dm Gm A Dm Bang bang. My baby shot me downVerse 2:
Dm Seasons came, and changed the time When I grew up I called him mine Gm He would always laugh and say "Remember when we used to playDm Bang bang. I shot you down Bang bang. You hit the ground Gm Bang bang. That awful sound A Dm Bang bang. I used to shoot you down Gm Music played, and people sang Dm Dm Gm Dm Gm A Dm Just for me the church bells rangVerse 3:
Dm Now he's gone, I don't know why Dm And till this day sometimes I cry Gm He didn't even say "Goodbye" Gm He didn't take the time to lieDm Bang bang. He shot me down Dm Bang bang. I hit the ground Gm Bang bang. That awful sound A Dm Bang bang. My baby shot me down
