So down steps down on a [Ab] ten story [Eb] raft One part's the love and two parts the pride
Three tons of steel with four miles to go Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
Rig down the point, top of the tower Watch for those waves, they'll be rising fast
Call to the driller [Ab] down on the [Eb] shore Deary, can you better keep pumping that [Ab] gas
No time to think of the girls in their [Eb] cap Dresses they wear in the early springtime
[Ab] Memories here all long forgot Like nine steps down on [Eb] a ten story raft
[Bb] Nine steps down on a ten story raft
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] When all of the boys thought [F] you were a beauty [Eb] My motivation was a little less kind
Come with me, I got something to show you Out past the trees where the river runs wild
[Ab] My oh my, but you were more than a [Eb] bargain For one time, not the five and dime

[Cm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] You better hammer on down, we [Ab] might just make it
Watch your ass, they're drippin' off the [Eb] road
Drink them all down, [Ab] five for a [Eb] dollar Get them to the man with the wiggly [Ab] low
It's rubber on the tire, burnin' like a match Stick [Eb] a blacklist heart on a long ride home
[Ab] There ain't no doubt, it's just laugh time for Sunday
Three tons of steel, four miles [Eb] to go [Bb] Three tons of steel, [F] four miles to go
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] With the water risin' all around your mouth Slack's pullin' fast, so you're tryin' to keep it loose
The storm rushin' down on New Orleans They're gonna string everybody [Gm] in a hangman's [Ab] noose
Nine steps down, a ten-story [Eb] ride One part's the love and two parts the [Ab] pride
Three tons of steel, four miles to go They're sinkin' them [Bb] down in the [Eb] Gulf of Mexico
