[Verse 1]
[C]The night was clear
And the moon [F]was yellow
[C]And[G] the lea[Dm]ves came tum[G]bling dow[C]n[G]

[Verse 2]
I [C]was standin' on the corner
When I [F]heard my bulldog bark
He was [C]barkin' at the two
men who [G]were gamblin'
In the dark
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
It was Stag[C]ger Lee and Billy
Two [F]men who gambled late
Stagger [C]Lee threw seven
Billy [G]swore that he threw [C]eight[F][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Stagger [C]Lee told Billy
I can[F]'t let you go with that
Cause you done [C]won all my money
And my [G]brand new Stetson [C]hat[G]

[Verse 5]
Stagger [C]Lee went home
[F]Got his forty- four
He said I'm [C]goin' to the barroom
[G]To pay that debt I owe[C]
Oh [G]yeah[Gm]

Stagger [C]Lee went to the barroom
And [F]he stood crossways in the door
He said now [C]don't nobody move
And [G]he pulled his forty- four
[C]

Stagger [C]Lee cried Billy
Oh [F]please don't take my life
I've got [C]three little children
And a [G]very sickly wife

Stagger [C]Lee shot Billy
Oh [F]he shot that poor boy so bad
The [C]bullet went through Billy
[G]And broke the bartender's [C]glass
