I was five and  he was six

5   5   5   5   5   -5  5    5
We rode on hors-es made of sticks

-4   -4  -4   -4   5  -4   -4
He wore black and  I wore white

-4  -4   -4  -4   5  -4   -4
He would al-ways win the fight



 -5    5   5  -5   5   5
Bang bang, he shot me down

 -5   5    5  -5  5    5
Bang bang, I hit the ground

 5    -4    -4   5 -4   -4
Bang bang, that aw-ful sound

 5    -4   -4  5 -4   4  -3   -3 (correct is -3")
Bang bang,  my ba-by shot me down


Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would al-ways laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.”

Mu-sic played, and peo-ple sang

 6    6  6    -7   -6     6     6
Just for me, the church bells rang



Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, some-times I cry
He did-n't e-ven say good-bye
He did-n't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that aw-ful sound
Bang bang, my ba-by shot me down
              Ba-by shot me down
