Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down by Cher - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Cher Song List
Version 1
            Written by Sonny Bono and released by Cher,his wife at the time, in 1966. 
There are no chords in the bridge so I have 'improvised', I play 4 power chord stabs on the 4 drum beats
before each phrase which sounds ok(ish). I think the rest is fine but any suggestions, corrections or
comments will be more than welcome. Please rate


[Intro]

Gm Cm D7 Gm


[Verse 1]

Gm                            Gm
I was five and he was six, we rode on horses made of sticks
Cm                              Cm
He wore black and I wore white, he would always win the fight
     Gm                          Gm
Bang bang, he shot me down, bang bang, I hit the ground
     Cm                           Cm       D7           Gm
Bang bang, that awful sound, bang bang, my baby shot me down

Repeat Intro: Gm Cm D7 Gm

Seasons came and changed the time, and I grew up, I called him mine
Cm                             Cm
He would always laugh and say, remember when we used to play
     Gm                          Gm
Bang bang, I shot you down, bang bang, you hit the ground
     Cm                           Cm      D7                Gm

Bang bang, he shot me down, bang bang, I hit the ground
