(Fm)I was five and he was six, we (Eaug)rode on hor ses (Fm)made of sticks.

He wore black and I wore white,

Bang, bang,

I hit the ground.

Bang (Eb)bang,

(Fm)Sea sons came and changed the time,

when I grew up I (Fm)called him mine.

He would al ways laugh and say β€œRe (C7)mem ber we used to play?” Bang, (Fm)bang,

I shot you down.

that aw ful sound.
