Stackerlee Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Tal[A]k a[D]bout your gamblers,
ought to see that Stackly.
Shot [Bm]a hundred dollars,
come [F#]out on a three.
[D]When you lose,
your [A]money learn to [D]lose.
I remember one September,
on a Friday night,
[Bm]Billy Lyons and Stackly,
they [F#]had an awful fight.
[G]When [D]you lose,
your [A]money learn to [D]lose.
Billy Lyons shot six bits,
Staggly Betty passed
Stag[Bm]gly took out his .45,
said [G]you'd unshot your last
[D]When you lose your [A]money, learn to [D]lose
Lord, a woman come a -run[C#]nin',
[D]fell [C#]down [D]on her knees
[C#]Cryin', [Bm]oh, Mr. Staggly,
don't shoot my [D]brother, [Bm]please
[D]When you lose your [A]money,
learn to [D]lose[Bm][F#][D]
The judge, he told the sheriff,
get him dead or alive
How [Bm]in the hell can we bring him in
when he [G]totes a forty -five?
[D]When you lose your [A]money, learn to [D]lose
The deputies took their badges,
[C#]laid them [D]on the shelf
Saying, [Bm]if you want that stack -a -lee,
[D]you'll get him [F#]by your[D]self
When you lose your [A]money,
learn to [D]lose[Bm][F#][D][A][D]
Staggely went to heaven,
sent him down to hell
We [Bm]don't want no gamblin' [D]here,
we don't want you as [D]well
When you lose [A]your money, learn to [D]lose
The devil's little children
went scramblin' up the wall
Said you better [Bm]catch him, daddy,
before he murders us all
When [D]you lose your [A]money, learn to [D]lose
When you lose your money,
learn to lose
