Chords for Part 1
1940, Xmas eve, with a full moon over town
Stagger Lee met Billy DeLion
And he blew that poor boy down.
Do you know what he shot him for?
What do you make of that?
Riff 1
Cause Billy DeLion threw lucky dice
Won Stagger Lee's Stetson hat.
Riff 2
D---1^2----2p0----------------------------------------------|
Part 2
Chords
After he sings "Tell me how can this be?" Hammer on and Pull off the 2nd fret of the G string
Bayou Bayou
B----1----h3---- B----1----h3----|
Tell me how can this be?
You arrest the girls for turning tricks
But you're scared of Stagger Lee.
Stagger Lee is a madman and he shot my Billy D.
Bayou go get him or give the job to me.
Use Part 2 chords
Delia Deliah
B----1----h3---- B----1----h3----|
Oh sweet Delia-D (Hammer on and Pull off G string 2nd Fret)
How the hell can I arrest him? He's twice as big as me
Well don't ask me to go downtown, I won't come back alive
Not only is that mother big he packs a Forty Five
Use Chord and Riffs from Part 1
Bayou, Delia said, just give me a gun
He shot my Billy dead now I'm gonna see him hung.
She went into the DeLion's club through Billy DeLion's blood
Riff1
Stepped up to Stagger Lee at the bar,
Said, "Buy me a gin fizz, love."
Riff 2
As stagger Lee Lit a Cigarette
B----1----h3---- B----1----h3----|
she shot him in the balls (h2p0 on G string)
Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall
Bayou, Bayou, see you hangin' high
He shot my Billy dead and now he's got to die
Delia Went walkin
B----1----h3---- B----1----h3----|
Down on Singapore Street (h2p0 on G string)
A three-piece band on the corner played "Near My God to Thee"
But Delia whistled a different tune, what tune could it be?
The song that woman sung was "Look Out Stagger Lee".
The song that Delia sung was "Look Out Stagger Lee".
