Stagger Lee Chords by Lloyd Price

[Eb] The night was clear [Cm] and the moon was yellow
And [Fm] the leaves came [Ebm] Tumbling [Bb] down
[Eb] When _ _ _ [Ab] I heard my dog bark
[Eb] He was barking at the two [Bb] men who were gambling [Eb] in the dark
[Bb] _
[Eb] It was Zagalee and Billy
[Ab] two men who gambled
_ [Eb] Zagalee drew [Bb] seven, Billy swore that [Eb] he drew eight _
[Bb] _ [Eb] Zagalee, oh Zagalee, oh Billy, oh Zagalee
I [Ab] can't let you go without, oh [Eb] Billy, oh Zagalee
You're one of [Bb] a brand new [Eb] Zagalee _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ Went home and [Ab] he got his money for
Oh Billy, oh Billy, oh Billy
And [Eb] I'm going to [Bb] pay that [Eb] debt of _
[Bb] _ [Eb] Zagalee
for gambling in the dark
[Cm] _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ [Cm] _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] _ [Eb] Zagalee went to the barroom
[Ab] And he stood across the barroom door
[Eb] And not nobody knew, baby, [Bb] who [Eb] this party for _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ Zagalee, oh Zagalee, oh Billy, [Ab] oh Billy
Oh please don't take my life
[Eb] I got three little [Bb] children and a very [Eb] sickly wife _
_ Zagalee, oh Zagalee, oh Billy, [Ab] oh Billy
It was so bad, [Eb] till the bullet came [Bb] through
And it broke me [Eb] far, just as fast
Look out, Zagalee!
_ [Cm] Oh Zagalee, [Ab] oh Zagalee, oh Zagalee
Get out of here, [Eb] Zagalee!
Oh Zagalee!
