[G] _ _ _ _ I'm _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _
[C] going down, down, [Bbm] down, baby.
[Am] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] My [Gm] nose is in [G] the sand. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[D] _ _ _ [Gb] A cloud of dust came over me.
[C] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ I [C] think I'm [G] drowning on dry land. _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] [C] Ooh.
[G] Yeah, my father, he told me.
_ [Gm] He [C] _ _ [Gm] said, _ [G] son, don't rush to be a man.
_ _ _ [Cm] _ [Em] _ [C] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Yeah, you know my father, he told [Gm] me. _ _ _
[C] He [Gm] _ _ _ [D] said, son, don't rush [G] to be a man.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ But I wouldn't hang around.
[Gm] _
[C] Ooh.
_ And now I [G] think I'm drowning on dry land.
_ Ooh. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ That's a bad way to go. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Oh. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [D] _ [Db] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ mother told me a [Gm] story about [G] a little dog
couldn't [Gm] see too well. _
_ [G] She said, across the railroad track [Gm] one day,
_ [G] you know the train cut off [Gm] part of his tail. _
_ [Bm] _ [D] He turned around and [Gm] never looked up, _
_ [G] _ just a peep over [Gm] the rail. _ _
_ [Bm] And she [Dm] said he lost his [Gm] whole head.
[G] Tried to find a little piece [Gm] of his tail.
That's why I'm going down, down, down, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ down.
My [Am] nose is in the [G] sand.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ Yeah, a cloud of dust came over me.
[C] _
_ _ _ And [G] I think I'm drowning on dry land.
