Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down ukulele

Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down

• Gm

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

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
