STAGGER LEE chrom
By: Harold Logan, Lloyd Price

Key: C


The night was clear 
and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

-5*-5* -5*   6 -5* -5* -5*  6
I was stand-ing on the cor-ner 
 -5* 6  -5   -5  -5   4   -3
when I heard my bull-dog bark
4   4   6   6   6   6   6   5
He was bark-in' at the two men 
 5   5   -4 -4 3   -4 -4   4
who were gam-blin' in the dark
-5*-5*  -5*  6   6  -5* -5* 6
It was Stag-ger Lee and Bil-ly, 
-5*6 -5 -5  -5   4    -3
two men who gam-bled late
 4    4   6    6    6  5
Stag-ger Lee threw sev-e n, 
 5  5  -4 -4  3   -4  -4     4
Bil-ly swore that he threw eight
 -5  -5  -5
Look out now
5  5   5    5   5
Go go Stag-ger Lee
5  5   5    5   5
Go go Stag-ger Lee
5  5   5    5   5
Go go Stag-ger Lee
5  5   5    5   5
Go go Stag-ger Lee
5  5   5    5   5
Go go Stag-ger Lee
5  5   5    5   5
Go go Stag-ger Lee
5  5   5    5   5
Go go Stag-ger Lee
5  5
Go go
