(S.Bono)

[Recorded June 4, 1973, Hollywood]



I was five and she was six

We rode on horses made of sticks

I wore black and she wore white

She would always win the fight



Bang bang, she shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down



[instrumental]



Seasons came and changed the time

And we grew up, I called her mine

She would always laugh and say

"Remember when we used to play?"



"Bang bang, I shot you down"

"Bang bang, you hit the ground"

"Bang bang, that awful sound"

"Bang bang, I used to shoot you down"



[Bridge]

Music played and people sang

Just for me the church bells rang



[instrumental]



Now she's gone, I don't know why

And till this day, sometimes I cry

She didn't even say "goodbye"

She didn't take the time to lie



Bang bang, she shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down
