Goin' Down chords and lyrics - THE MONKEES

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Sock it to me
Floatin' down the river
with a [G]saturated liver
And I [D]wish I could forgive her, but I
[G]do believe she [D]meant it
When she told me to forget
it, and I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning
[G]wet [D]and drowned
And the word gets [G]'round[Bb]
I'm goin' [D]down
[G]I'm goin' dow[D]n

[Verse 2]
[D]Comin' up for air,
it's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say I didn't care,
but I forgot to leave a [Bm]note
And it's so [D]hard to stay afloat,
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should've
taken off my shoes
It's [G]front page [Bb]news
Goin' [D]down

[Verse 3]
Goin' down
[D]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[G]Hey, hey, hey[Bb], hey
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]I wish I had another drink,
it wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should've taken time to think,
besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date,
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
I don't want [G]no [Bb]more
Goin' [D]down
I'm goin' down

[Verse 5]
And [D]now I see the life I led,
I slept it all away in bed
I should've learned how to swim instead,
and now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe why I jumped,
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink
this stuff in town
This dirty [G]brown[Bb]
Goin' [D]down
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' [Bm]down, hey, [D]hey
Goin' [Bm]down
Goin' [D]down
Goin' [Bm]down
Goin' down
[G]Goin' [D]down
Goin' [Bm]down

[Verse 6]
I [D]wished I'd looked before I leaped
I [Bm]didn't know it was so deep
Been [D]down so far I don't get wet
I [Bm]haven't touched the bottom yet
[D]This river scene is gettin' old
I'm [Bm]hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She [D]told me to forget it nice
I [Bm]should have taken her advice
I [D]only wanna go on [Bm]home
I'd gladly leave that [G]girl alone
[D]What a way to spend the night
If [Bm]I don't drown, I'll die of fright
My [D]pappy taught me how to float
But I [Bm]can't swim a single note
[D]He threw me in to teach me how
I [Bm]stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
And [D]now I've floated way downstream
[Bm]Know this has to be a dream
If I [D]could find my way to shore
I'd [Bm]never, never do this anymore
[G]They giv[D]e you three,
I've been down nine
I'm [Bm]goin' down just one
more time
[D]Goin' down
Goin' [Bm]down, back
Goin' [D]down
Goin' [Bm]down
I'm goin' down, [D]back, back, back
Goin' [Bm]down, back, back, back, back, huh
[D]Back, back, back, huh, back
[Bm]Back, back, back, huh[D]
Goin' [Bm]down
Goin' [D]down
I'm goin' [Bm]down home
I'm goin' back [D]home
Back to my friends
[Bm]Back under[G] the w[D]arm
And I can do with [Bm]it, too
I'm goin' [D]home, ah
[Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 7]
[D]Now the sky is gettin' light
And [Bm]everything will be alright
[D]Think I finally got the knack
Just [Bm]floatin' and lazin'
on my [D]back
I never really liked that town
[Bm]I think I'll ride the river down[D]
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
[Bm]There's a river swinging under me
[D]Waving back to the folks
on [Bm]shore
I should've thought of this before
[D]I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
[Bm]And pick up on some swingin'
[D]scenes
I'm gonna know a better day
[Bm]I'm goin' down groovin'
all the way
Goin' [D]down
Go-go-go down
[Bm]down
down
I'm goin' [D]down, back, back, back
Down in New Orleans, [Bm]back,
back, back, back home
[D]I'm go-goin' down, dow[Bm]n,
hey, hey, hey, hey
Goin' [D]on down, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm [Bm]go, go, go, goin' [D]down
I'm [Bm]goin' down
Goin' [D]down, go, go
Oh, [Bm]hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, [G]hey, [D]hey, hey
Got to, got [Bm]to, got to, got to,
got to, got to
[D]Got to, got to, got to, got [Bm]to,
got to, [D]got to go
Got to go, got [Bm]to go back home,
[D]I'm goin' down
Down, down, down, [Bm]down, down,
down, down [D]the river now
I gotta go, gotta go,
gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
