Goin Down

E7
  Sock it to me


[Verse 1]
E7
Floatin' down the river with a 
saturated liver and I wish I could 
forgive her
E7
But I do believe she meant it when 
she told me to forget it and I bet 
she will regret it
E7                                
When they find me in the morning 
wet and drowned and the word gets 
A    C
'round


[Chorus]
N.C.      E7
Goin' down. Goin' down


[Verse 2]
E7
Comin' up for air, it's pretty 
stuffy under there there, I'd like 
to say I didn't care
E7
But I forgot to leave a note and 
it's so hard to stay afloat, I'm 
soakin' wet without a boat
E7                                
And I knew I should have taken off
                           A   C
 my shoes, it's front page news
N.C.      E7
Goin' down. Goin' down


[Instrumental]
E7
  Hey-hey. Hey-hey
                     A          
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey, hey, 
 C       E7
hey, hey


[Verse 3]
E7
I wish I had another drink, it 
wouldn't be so hard to sink. I 
should have taken time to think
E7
Besides I got the picture straight, 
she must have had another date. I 
didn't need this extra weight
E7                                
I wish that I could see the way to
                        A   C
 shore. I don't want no more


[Chorus]
N.C.      E7
Goin' down, I'm goin' down

[Verse 4]
E7
And now I see the life I led. I 
slept it all away in bed. I should 
have learned how to swim instead
E7
And now it's really got me stumped. 
I can't believe I really jumped. I'd
 like to get my tummy pumped
E7                            
I can't believe they drink this 
                            A    C
stuff in town, this dirty brown


[Chorus]
N.C.      E7
Goin' down, goin' down. I'm goin' 
down
      C#m                 E7  
Goin' down, hey, hey. I'm down. 
        C#m          E7
Goin' down.  Goin' down
      C#m          E7          C#m
Goin' down.  Goin' down. Goin' down


[Bridge]
  E7                               
I wished I'd looked before I 
    C#m
leaped. I didn't know it was so deep
     E7                            
Been down so far I don't get wet. I
 C#m
 haven't touched the bottom yet
     E7                            
This river scene is gettin' old. 
  C#m
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
    E7                           
She told me to forget it nice. I 
C#m
should have taken her advice
  E7                          
I only want to go on home. I'd 
 C#m
gladly leave that girl alone
E7                               
What a way to spend the night, if I 
C#m
don't drown, I'll die of fright
   E7                              
My pappy taught me how to float, 
 C#m
but I can't swim a single note
   E7                             
He threw me in to teach me how. I 
C#m
stayed there floatin' like a mama 
cow
    E7                             
And now I've floated way 
  C#m
downstream, know this has to be a 
dream
   E7                              
If I could find my way to shore. 
  C#m
I'd never, never do this anymore
     E7                            
I'll give you three, I've been down
           C#m
 nine. I'm goin' down just one more 
time


[Chorus]
      E7          C#m          E7
Goin' down. Goin' down.  Goin' 
          C#m
down. Goin' down
          E7                     
I'm goin' down, back, back, back, 
       C#m
goin' down, back, back, back
E7                         C#m
  Back, back, back, back,  back 
back, back, back
E7      C#m         E7          
  Goin' down. Goin' down. I'm 
    C#m
goin' down


[Bridge]
               E7                  
I'm goin' back home, back home to 
  C#m
my friends
               E7                
Back under the warm, and I can do 
          C#m
with it, too


[Instrumental]
          E7 C#m E7 C#m
I'm goin' home


[Bridge]
E7                                
Now the sky is gettin' light, and 
C#m
everythng will be all right
E7                                
Think I finally got the knack, 
  C#m
just floatin' here lazy on my back
  E7                              
I never really liked that town. I 
C#m
think I'll ride the river down
E7                                
Just movin' slow and floatin' 
            C#m
free, there's a river swinging under
 me
E7                               
Waving back to the folks on shore.  
C#m
I should have thought of this before
    E7                             
I'm floatin' on down to New 
      C#m
Orleans, and pick up on some 
swingin' scenes
E7                                 
  I'm gonna know a better day. I'm 
C#m
goin' down groovin' all the way


[Otro]
      E7                 C#m
Goin' down. Go-go-go-in' down
          E7                     
I'm goin' down, back, back, back. 
           C#m
I'm goin' back, back, back home
E7             C#m               
  I'm go-goin' down, hey, hey, 
                 E7
hey, hey. Goin' on down, hey, hey, 
hey, hey
              E7              C#m
Go, go, goin' down. I'm goin' down
      E7          C#m
Goin' down, go, go...
