Livin It Down

D7  A7  D7

[Verse 1]
D
My ship came in and she sunk it,
          G
I was the toast of the town and she 
drunk it,
        D                          
I had a run of good luck and she 
                    G
ran it right into the ground.
               D                   
And now she’s putting on shows and 
 A                D
I get to play the clown.

[Verse 2]
D
I had the wind in my sails and she 
took it,
          G
I had the world by the tail and she 
shook it,
           D                     
I reached out for a life line and 
                G
she threw me a noose,

          D                       
I got the shortend of the chicken 
A                  D
she got the golden goose.

[Chorus]
G                              
She’s living it up and trying to 
          D
live it down,
Just when I got it all together it 
E                   A
all about to come unwound
G                                 
Everybody laughing behind my back 
     D                 G
man, sure is a sad old sound
D                                 
She’s out there living it up and 
A                    D
I’m trying to live it down

[Verse 3]
D
I had my ducks in a row and she shot
 them
         G
I had my eggs in a basket she 
dropped them
            D                      
I threw her out of the house but 
                      G
she was back like a boomerang
     D                     
Sometimes you get the honey 
 A                            D
sometimes all you get is the sting

[Chorus]
G                              
She’s living it up and trying to 
          D
live it down,
Just when I got it all together it 
E                   A
all about to come unwound
G                                 
Everybody laughing behind my back 
       D                 G
baby, sure is a sad old sound
                D                 
She’s out there living it up and 
A                    D
I’m trying to live it down
D                        A       
She’s living it up and I may 
          D7    A7    D7
never live it down
