Down
Intro:  Lick in D

verse 1:
D                             G
Mama, this old world's got me down
D                                  A
Mama, this old world, just like my head, keeps spinning 'round
D         F#                  Bmin     A       G
I've been drunk and I've been dreaming a sweet sound
             F                                 D
and I'm just trying to get my feet back on the ground.

verse 2:
Mama, this old rain's near got me drowned
Mama, this old rain, just like my tearms, keeps falling down
I've been weeping, wailing, waiting on a sound
and I'm just trying to get my feet back on the ground

chorus:
A                           G
I've been up, and I've been down
          A                 G                  D
I've been around, I've been lost and I've been found
          A                G                F
I've been trying to get my feet back on the ground
              D
and I've been down.

verse 3:
Mama, this old ship's done run aground
Mama, this old ship, just like my mind, is going southbound
I've been shipping out and steaming towards that sound
and I'm just trying to get my feet back on the ground

chorus
triple tag on "I've been trying..."
