[Verse 1]
F#m
I was five and she was six
F#m
We rode horses made of sticks
E
And I wore black and she wore white
C#7
She would always win the fight

[Chorus]
F#m
Bang bang, she shot me down
F#m
Bang bang, I hit the ground
E
Bang bang, that awful sound
C#7                         F#m
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
F#m

[Verse 2]
F#m
Seasons came and changed the time
F#m
I grew up and called her mine
E
She would always laugh and say:
C#7
"Remember when we useed to play?"

[Chorus]
F#m
Bang bang, you shot me down
F#m
Bang bang, oh Lord, I hit the ground
E
That awful sound
C#7                         F#m
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Music played and people sang
Gm
And just for me the church bells rang
F
And now she's gone and I don't know why

Till this day sometimes I cry

Gm
I didn't even get the chance to lie
F
Bang bang, she shot me down
D7
Bang bang, oh Lord, I hit the ground
Gm
Oh, no that awful sound
Gm
When my baby shot me down
F
Oh, I hit the ground
