[Verse 1]
[C]The night was [Em]clear and [C]the
[F]moon was [C]yellow
And the [G]leaves came tum[C]bling down
[G]I was standing[C] on a corner
When I [F]heard my bulldog bark
He was bark[C]ing and two men
were [G]gambling in the [C]dark[G]
Stagg
[C]Lee and
Billy, two [F]men who gambled it
Stagg
Lee [C]threw seven,
Billy [G]swore that he threw [C]eight[G]
Stagg
[C]Lee told
Billy, I can't [F]let you go with that
You don't [C]want all my money
and [G]my brand new
Stetson hat
[C]All right, hey[G]![C][Em][G][Em][C][Em]
[F]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am][C][Em][G][C][G]
gui[C]tar [G]solo
[C]Staggly went home
And he [F]got his 44
He said I'm go[C]ing to the barroom
Just [G]to pay that
Dead I [C]hope[G]
Spank
[C]Lee cried
Billy
Oh [F]please oh take my life
I got three [C]little children
And a [G]very sickly [C]wife[G]
Spank
[C]Lee shot
Billy
Oh he shot [F]that poor boy so bad
Till a bul[C]let went through
Billy
And it [G]broke the bartender's [C]glass
Go,
Snotty
[G]Lee, [C]hey![G][C][F][C][F]
[Am][C][G][C][G][C][G]
Snotty
[C]Lee went to the ballroom
And he stood [F]across that bar front door
He said, [C]nobody move and
he'd [G]pull his [C]44[G]
Spank
[C]Lee cried,
Billy
Oh, [F]please don't take my life
I got three [C]little children
And a [G]very sickly [C]wife[G]
Spank
[C]Lee shot
Billy
Oh, he shot [F]that poor boy so bad
Until a bul[C]let went through
Billy and it [G]broke the bartender's [C]glass[G][C][G]
[C][F][Am][F][Am][C]

Thank you.
