"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
