I've Been Down For So Long (It Looks Like Up To Me) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
He [G]walks these tracks
and [F]never looks [G]around
He bums what he can [F]get in any [G]town
He's [C]grown content to live on char[G]ity
I've been down so long it [F]looks like up to [G]me

[Verse 2]
I [G]make excuses [F]when I read [G]the news
On the side of [F]some ole dirty [G]train
He's [C]conjures up a taste of fantasy
[G]

[Verse 3]
I've been down so long it
[F]looks like up [G]to me
I've been [C]down so long it
[D]looks like up to [G]me

[Verse 4]
Well, I [G]pushed him off the lad
[F]der of succes[G]s
That's true
But down here [Gm]on t[F]he bottom I get rest
[G]

[Verse 5]
He's [C]saved his thoughts
to buy a memory
[G]

[Verse 6]
I've been down so long
[F]it looks like up to [G]me
Ah

[Verse 7]
I [G]put my finger [F]in his mind's [G]eye
And I've given him a [F]reason now to [G]cry
I [C]put his song of life in the wrong [G]key
I've been [C]down so long it
[D]looks like up to [G]me
Yeah, he's been down so
long it [F]looks like up to [G]me

[Verse 8]
Poor Lee, [C]I wish you would come up here Lee,
you're break[D]ing my heart down there
I [G]wish you would tell this
story to everybody
Listen to him crying down there
You keep secrets
[F]Poor Lee
You've hurt me
[G]I'm sorry
I'll never forget
[C]I'm a poor sport

[Outro 1]
[D][G][F]
