	I was five and	he was six

We	rode on horses	made of sticks

	He wore black and I wore white

	C7
	He would always win the fight

		Fm
	Bang	bang, he shot me down

		Fm
	Bang	bang, I hit the ground

		Eb
	Bang	bang, that awful sound

		C7	Fm
	Bang	bang, my baby shot me	down

	Seasons came and	changed the time

	Fm7	Fm6
And	I grew up, I	called him mine

	Eb
	He would always laugh and say

	C7
	"Remember when we used to play?"

	Now he's gone, I	don't know why

And	till this day, some	times I cry

He	didn't even say goodbye

	C7
He	didn't take the time to lie

		Fm
	Bang	bang, he shot me down

		Fm
	Bang	bang, I hit the ground

		Eb
	Bang	bang, that awful sound

		C7	Fm
	Bang	bang, my baby shot me	down
