I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always 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
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And 'til this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

[Verse 2]
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?
[Hook]
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"

[Verse 3]
Music played, and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And ‘til this day sometimes I cry
He didn't even say "Goodbye"
He didn't take the time to lie

[Hook]
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Absolutely love this! Got me back into the guitar, I played the guitar from age 10 to 15, grunge, hendrix, classic rock, and one day I thought I Need to learn this song! I did an old trick of simplfying the hardest chord, I think you know which one I mean, , because I feel keping the flow and feel is more important than over stretching yourself and making it sound klunky.
I just left out one note of the widest chord. Thank you for posting!

The Raconteur's cover of this is epic.

[dognut]

if your tryna learn it i'd recommend slowing down to 0.5 speed

Interesting foray into less jazzy territory Dirk... twangy Tele for sure.

[SmartDufus]

what do those squiggly arrows next to the chords going from bottom to top on the tab mean?

[Nergal_Slayer]

How do you get this tone? (I really don't know my way around amps)
