[Verse]

Am

I was five and he was six

Am

We rode on horses made of sticks

Dm

He wore black and I wore white

E

He would always win the fight

 

[Chorus]

Am

Bang Bang, He shot me down

Am

Bang Bang, I hit the ground

Am   Dm

Bang Bang, That awful sound

Dm   E

Bang Bang, My baby shot me down

[Verse]

Am

Seasons came and change their time

Am

When I grew up I called him mine

Dm

He would always laugh and say

E

«Remember when we used to play»

 

[Chorus]

Am

Bang Bang, I shot you down

Am

Bang Bang, You hit the ground

Dm

Bang Bang, That awful sound

E

Bang Bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang

[Verse]

Am

Now he’s gone, I don’t know why

Am

Until this day sometimes I cry

Dm

He didn’t even say goodbye

E

He didn’t take the time to lie

 

[Chorus]

Am

Bang Bang, He shot me down

Am

Bang Bang, I hit the ground

Am   Dm

Bang Bang, That awful sound

Dm   E

Bang Bang, My baby shot me down
