Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

If I know Jeff Mangum like I think I
 do, this guy hardly ever changes 
tuning for any of
his songs. Going Down is no 
exception. I may be off with some of
 the strumming here, but
this sounds pretty damn accurate to 
me:

CHORDS USED:
    Em       G        A          
E|------| |------| |------| |-----

Main Riff:

This is actually the trickiest part 
of this song. This is the closest I 
could come to
it, and while it isn't 100%, its 
still pretty spot on:


   v
E|--------------------------------
B|--------------------------------
G|--------------------------------
D|-2--------0-0-2-2-2-2-2p0-------
A|-2---0h2------------------2p0---
E|-0------------------------------

Don't be afraid to hit the E string 
while playing any singular notes.

Main riff plays throughout verse:

I crush the world I was in
Will I destroy the world I will 
find?
I'll work the tools with my hands
I'll stick the needles in my eyes

CHORUS:

E
And in my celebration

D
You are by my side

A                Em G Em
And now I'm going down

E
And through the complications

D
Something inside me died

A                Em G Em
And now I'm going down

Back to MAIN RIFF for the next 
Verse:

Bring down the sky with my tears
Dig up the earth with my hands
Take a look inside of my head
Maybe then you could understand

Repeat CHORUS x1

Bridge:

Em, A, Em, A (To get that momentary 
bassy note on the A chord, lift your
 finger quick
off the E string while playing it at
 whatever time seems fit)

Em
So long again, my friend

A                                 
I guess it's time that I should 
      Em     A
let you know

Em
These things, they come around

A                               
I guess they just get hard to let 
   Em           A
them go

Em
You wait around a while

A                                 
You'll never seem to find that 
   Em          A
faith in me

Em
You close your eyes and smile

A             Em   A
Forever I will be

Go back to MAIN RIFF

I know the way and I will go
I know the way and I will find
It's all around me and I told you so
I'll wait around and hear, "Goodbye"

Last CHORUS, slightly longer:

And in my celebration
You are by my side
And now I'm going down
And through the complications
Something inside me died
And now I'm going down

E
And all the big decisions
D
We never could decide
A                 Em G Em
And now I'm going down

And in my celebration
You are by my side
And now I'm going down
