John Fisher Ford

C#m  A  C#m


[Verse 1]
C#m          A          D
John Fisher Ford died.
                      E
Held a flame over his base pipe,
tried to smoke some crack - and it 
A
killed him.


[Verse 2]
A                    D
Susan Anna Randall
                      E
held a spoon over her candle,
tried injecting heroin - and it 
A            D
killed her.


[Chorus]
D                    E           
And the children got down, down, 
             D
down, down,
Continues after the ad
                     E         
and the animals got down, down, 
              D
down, down,
                 E          A
as the world got high - and died.


[Verse 3]
A                            D
William Stickly Scott tried
                  E
his hand in chemistry,
                       A           
made some LSD - and it killed him.

[Chorus]
D                    E           
And the children got down, down, 
             D
down, down,
                     E         
and the animals got down, down, 
              D
down, down,
                 E          A
as the world got high - and died.


[Bridge]
A                              D
What's the chance of it coming down?
E                                
I gauge the odds at a billion to 
A
one.


[Verse 4]
A                     D
Tommy in his tie-dye,
                  E
thinking he could fly,
                            A      
tried some PCP - I think it killed 
     D
him


[Chorus]
D                    E           
And the children got down, down, 
             D
down, down,
                     E         
and the animals got down, down, 
              D
down, down,
                 E          A
as the world got high - and died.
