Broke Down

D
Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold,

A sink full of dishes and a love 
grown cold,
G                 A
Along came a boy, pretty as the 
devil,
    D        A                  
She took his hand, the whole thing 
Bm
unravelled,
G                  A
There's no turnin' round,
           D
It's broke down.

Billy took the ring, jammed it in 
his pocket,

Drove down town and tried to hock 
it,
G                       A
Down at the bottom of Lake 
Ponchartrain,
           D        A             
There's a love not carved inside a
   Bm
 wedding ring.

G           A
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
D        A            Bm
Left in pieces like it never even 
mattered,
G           A
Broke down, torn and frayed,
D               A           Bm
Ain't nothin' left you could give 
away,

G                  A
There's no turnin' round,
           D
It's broke down.

G
Ain't no tellin’ where love goes,
A                    D
Maybe down where the black river 
flows,
G                    A
Won't be comin' back round,
           D
It's broke down.

D
Baby in the back seat, another on 
the way,

Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of
 every day,
G                               A
She spends her nights waiting for 
real life to start,
D                 A             
Listening to the sound of her double
Bm
 crossed heart.

G            A
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
D         A             Bm
Left in pieces like it never even 
mattered,
G                   A
There's no turnin' round,
           D
It's broke down.

D
On the other side of town, two 
lovers lie still,

Cigarette smokin' on a window sill,
           G                     
There's a picture locked up in an 
   A
old suitcase,
       D          A             
Billy closes his eyes but he still 
Bm
sees her face.

G               A
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
D        A               Bm
Left in pieces like it never even 
mattered,
G             A
Broke down, torn and frayed,
      D         A               
Ain't nothin' left you could give 
Bm
away,
G                    A
There's no turnin' round,
      D
It's broke down.
D
Broke down.
