I was five and he was six (Am)
we rode on horse's made of sticks (Em)
He wore black and I wore white (Am)
he would always win the fight (Em)
Bang Bang (2/1,0) he shot me down
Bang Bang (2/1,0) I hit the ground
Bang Bang (3,1,2) that awful sound
Bang Bang (1,0,Em)my baby shot me down    (solo)
Seasons came and changed (chord A) the time
(chord A) When I grew up I (chord A) called him mine(Am)
He would always laugh and say(3,2,1)
remember when we used to play
Bang Bang (2/1,0) I shot you down
Bang Bang (2/1,0) you hit the ground
Bang Bang (3,1,2) that awful sound
Bang Bang (1,0,Em) I used to shoot you down    (solo)
Music played and people sang(Am,Em)just for me the church bells rang (3xEm,Am,Em,D,Em,Am)
(2/1,0)Now he's gone I don't know why (chord A)
Until (chord A) this day (chord A) sometimes I cry (Am)

No Picture micheal Lead Player	#1 by micheal mceachern at Sep 29, 2007 at 1:49 PM EST
	do u really think he left her becoz of reasons like falling in love with someone else? i rather think that he died; maybe he was critically ill. the line "he didn´t take the time to lie" implies that he must gone very quickly or that she hasn´t meant anything to him (anymore).

No Picture M Average	#2 by M K-O at Sep 29, 2007 at 7:34 PM EST
	First off, the song was originally sung by Cher however, this version is much better, and Cher sucks. Second, the Kill Bill movies got a lot of hipe, and didn't perform. The story was terrible, a white blonde american women that knows the ancient ways of the Samarai. REAL NICE...

No Picture phil Average	#3 by phil gdfgr at Sep 29, 2007 at 7:37 PM EST
	Personally I think that he left because he didn't care. When she called him hers he just laughed. He didn't care therefore he didn't even bother to lie. Great song.

No Picture Charlie Average	#4 by Charlie Fletcher at Sep 29, 2007 at 11:53 PM EST
	Awesome song, heard it from the Kill Bill soundtrack. Pretty obvious meanings, thus why there are few posts. She fell in love with her childhood friend who was a boy, who eventually left her. All she has left to remnisce was their indians and cowboys game. I'm a guy and I think its great....it seems like a chick song though

	EvolGRE oh for gods sake, please, get a life. the films were good, ppl liked them, and wen uv been round the entire population of the united states to check that they cant use a sword, please come back and comment again. then i mite accept wat ur saying. as for sayin i shud come to my senses....kill bill 1 and 2 DO deserve the praise they are getting, they didnt suck, and the only person who shud come to their senses is u, for bein so single minded just coz u dont think a white american woman can use a sword. god ur pathetic if thats wat u think.

	PS- EvolGRE, you're a retard, this song was NOT originally sung by Cher, she did a (very crappy) cover of it.

No Picture Badass	#7 by Nirvana at Sep 30, 2007 at 6:55 PM EST
	I'm actually one of the few people who weren't introduced to this song by Kill Bill. I saw Murder By Death the other night and they covered it...did a damn fine job too

No Picture Trey Average	#8 by Trey Davis at Sep 30, 2007 at 11:59 PM EST
	by the way he left her at the altar 'Music played and people sang Just for me the church bells rang '

	I'm totally wrong? How many American's do you know that know how to use a samarai sword? Just American's, we won't even limit it down to Blonde women. To add on, how many people do you know that can kill such a large ammount of people alone? Here's another good one, the poking Bill in the 5 presure points and then he walks 4 steps and dies? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Let's say it was true, it's not a good attack method because lets say your opponent never takes 4 steps, then he never dies. Don't get me wrong, I like Quintine Tarentino, his work in Resevous Dogs was amazing. His work in Kill Bill however, was not. The story line was not good compared to other works by Tarentino. Torrance21, I suggest you come to your sences and realize this. Kill Bill 1 & 2 sucked and don't deserve they praise they're getting.

No Picture scotty 2 hotty Rhythm Player	#10 by scotty 2 hotty at Oct 2, 2007 at 11:40 PM EST
	evolgre, you're totally wrong. Kill Bill 1 and 2 where amazing films, as are most things that Tarantino is involved with. The story was brilliant, you obviously weren't watching it properly. Who's to say that a blonde, white, American can't know how to use a samarai sword? You really don't have a clue! Lol.

No Picture Guitar Man Lead Player	#11 by Guitar Man at Oct 5, 2007 at 2:37 PM EST
	The "Kill Bill" movies introduced me to this song too...and i really like it. In the first kill bill, right after it shows bill shooting the bride in the head, the music starts. And it made the movie infinitly more powerful. And that movie is NOT meaningless violence, thank u very much.

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#12 by Chris Pray at Oct 6, 2007 at 11:31 PM EST
	oh, NIAM that's perfect! yes, that makes sense..."he didn't take the time to lie" ...that's a way to explain that...i doubt he was deathly ill like one person mentioned. i also heard it off of kill bill and those movies are wonderful!!! pure genius...and this song is so powerful ...

No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#14 by Steve Williams at Oct 7, 2007 at 6:26 PM EST
	EvolGRE, she's an assassin. She's been trained to use the samurai sword by the best there is and it even shows in the movie that she recieves training from some of the greatest martial artists, Pai Mei for example. Use your imagination a bit, not everything has to be straight foreward. Obviously you didn't watch the movie too closely and if you did, you perhaps lack the capacity to understand it properly. Kill Bill 1 and 2 has incredible cinematography and a thought provoking story line. Maybe you should watch it again with an open mind and without the expectation that it will be Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction.

No Picture Kyle Average	#15 by Kyle Lester at Oct 8, 2007 at 4:39 AM EST
	so sad. even the simple music to accompany her singing is filled with sadness...

No Picture Squirrels Lead Player	#16 by Squirrels Dyrant at Oct 8, 2007 at 5:31 AM EST
	Kill Bills I & II are fucking amazing...and this song is too. Quentin picks the most perfect songs for all of his movies. My favorite was "Girl, you'll be a woman soon" by Neil Diamond, in Pulp Fiction, right before Mia OD's. Brilliant.

No Picture Average	#17 by Fig at Oct 11, 2007 at 11:49 AM EST
	It doesn't matter what you think she was doing with a sword, the point u were tryin to make was that it was unrealistic that she cud hav bin who she was. I'm (along with many others) are defending a film that is really REALLY good. You're the one with the bullshit! Ha ha!

No Picture steve Wanna Be	#18 by steve hoffmann at Oct 12, 2007 at 4:56 PM EST
	The Kill Bill 2 soundtrack introduced me to this song too, and I must admit, it is amazing.

No Picture Harry Average	#19 by Harry Johnson at Oct 12, 2007 at 8:59 PM EST
	since when did films have to adhere to reality. the cinema would be a boring place with out bouts of comeplte and total fantasy and anyway how probable is most of the stuff you watch yeah good song

	awesome song. exemplifies everything about being loved and left to me.

No Picture Brandon Average	#22 by Brandon Weathers at Oct 17, 2007 at 3:08 AM EST
	Wait, wait, wait. In Kill Bill one, I didn't know break dancing with a sword was martial arts. She was break dancing while cutting off people's legs. That's a masterpiece? You say I should get a life, yet, you're defending a movie that was bullshit.

	i love this song i love nancy sinatra and kill bill was movie that had everything i loved it.

No Picture Andrea Average	#24 by Andrea Lauria at Oct 17, 2007 at 5:37 PM EST
	This is supposed to be songmeanings, but since we're talking about the movie I can't resist siding with EvolGRE. I haven't seen Kill Bill 2 yet, but I was very dissapointed with the first one. I love Tarantino, but thought this effort lacked quality.

No Picture †grave† Lead Player	#25 by †grave† f at Oct 17, 2007 at 10:44 PM EST
	I'm a blonde american male and I'm pretty good with a samurai sword. Why don't you come over here and tell me American's know nothing of martial arts and swordplay. I even know the illegal ninja moves from the government.
