"Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Sonny Bono
Intro:
[Fm] [Bbm]
[C] [Fm]
[Fm] I was five and [Caug]
he was six
We [Fm7] rode on horses [Eb]
made of sticks
[Fm6] He wore black and I wore white
[C7] He would always win the fight
Bang [Fm] bang, he shot me down
Bang [Fm] bang, I hit the ground
Bang [Eb] bang, that awful sound
Bang [C7] bang, my baby shot me [Fm]
down
[Fm] Seasons came and [Caug]
changed the time
And [Fm7] I grew up, I [Fm6]
called him mine
[Eb] He would always laugh and say
[C7] "Remember when we used to
play?"
Bang [Fm] bang, I shot you down
Bang [Fm] bang, you hit the ground
Bang [Eb] bang, that awful sound
Bang [C7] bang, I used to shoot you [Fm]
down
[Fm] Music played and people sang
[Fm6] Just for me the church bells rang
[Db] [C] [C#/C]
[D/C] [C#/C]
[C]
[Fm] Now he's gone, I [Caug]
don't know why
And [Fm7] till this day, some[Fm6]times I
cry
He [Fm6] didn't even say goodbye
He [C7] didn't take the time to lie
Bang [Fm] bang, he shot me down
Bang [Fm] bang, I hit the ground
Bang [Eb] bang, that awful sound
Bang [C7] bang, my baby shot me [Fm]
down
