 1940, Xmas eve, with a full moon over town
 F       C       Bb      F
 Stagger Lee met Billy DeLion
        Bb
 And he blew that poor boy down.
 F      C            Bb       F
 Do you know what he shot him for?
      Bb                   (a# a g#)
 What do you make of that?
       G
 Cause Billy DeLion threw lucky dice
     A
 Won Stagger Lee's Stetson hat.
