3/4 Time

C E
The first time that I saw him was late at night

F C
He was tall and dark and lean

C E
A silhouette wearing a Stetson hat

F C
He said his name is Stagger Lee

C E
He spent his day working the shipping yard

F C
And his night outside the bar

C E
With an open hat and an empty flask,

F C
He would sing and play guitar

C C E E F F C C

C C E E F F F F

C E
And I had been working the docks at night

F C
With the likes of Billy Lyons

C E
For a cut of my take, he would keep me safe

F C
And keep the Johns in line

C E
They came and they went, but the single constant

F C
Was Stag's distant song

C E
So when I gave up on Billy and I needed rent,

F C
He let me sing along

C C E E F F C C

4/4 Time

G F# E C G
And my friends they say that you better stay away

E C G
That Stag's got a reputation

E C G
But he's always done me right and he'd never start a fight

Am Bm C D
With someone who didn't deserve it

Am
And on that fateful night

Am Bm C
In the Bucket of Blood

C6
With the likes of Billy Lyons

C5 B5 Am
We weren't looking for trouble,

Am Bm c
We were drinking and dancing
D C
In came Billy pointing fingers and questions

Am Am Bm C
Things got heavy, Billy pulled out a knife


And it glimmered in the dim bar light

F
But Stag kept me safe, so he carried a pistol

Am
And Billy came at him, he was only defensive

F
Billy got shot and stag got busted

A5 C F
They took him to the gallows and they called it justice


Switch back to 3/4 time
A C C E E F F C C

C C E E F F C C

C E
With his empty flask and his Stetson hat,

F C
He is six feet underground

C E
But in the quiet times at the dock at night

F C
I can still hear his sound

C C E E F F C C

C C E E F F F F C
