_ [C#] _ _ _ The little lion told Stagger Lee
Please don't take my life

The judge [F#] said, let's kill him
Boy, he killed [C#] some of us
[G#] He's a bad man, oh [C#] cruel Stagger Lee _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ Gentlemen of the jury, _ what you think of that
Says [F#] Stagger Lee killed a bitter lion
Bought a [C#] $5 stuntman hat
He's [G#] a bad man, oh [F#] cruel [C#] Stagger Lee _ _

Um-hum, [C#] um-hum, [G#] um-hum, _ um-hum
Um [C#]-hum, um-hum, _ um-hum
Standing on the gallery, _ _ standing where I hide
At twelve o [F#]'clock, we kill him
It's all bad to see him [C#] die
[G#] He's a bad man, [F#] oh cruel [C#] Stagger Lee _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
