Down
Capo 3rd fret.
DGown, down my old familiar rGoad
Down, where the fables are all tCold in my head
Dreaming of things to do instead of dGreaming
DoGwn, past the tourists in the spriGnklers
Shake their heads like shaggy dCogs that run
                                G(Gmaj7)
In circles from sun up to sundown
AEmnd you
OD6h you
AEmnd you
ACnd youD6  
Down, to the bottom of my coffee cup
But I promise I will leave a drop
But if you get there before it dries I'll be surprised
Down, to the bottom of this river bed
Put a letter in a bottle
And chase it down and meet me at the sea
And you
Oh you
And you
And you
(Bridge)
And you
Oh you
And you
When will I see you again
Down, underneath my feather bed
There's a letter that's never been read
But it's for you
It's for you
Down, down on the shoreline I am waiting
I am waiting I am waving
But you can't see or hear or know or answer back
Down, around the corner, across the ocean
Under the leaves from all the trees that fall
Upon my rooftop I look up but I am down
Oh down, I have seen it underground
But I am lucky I have found a way back up
Climbed a mountain top, but I am down
I am down
I am down

Down, down my old familiar road

Down, where the fables are all told in my head

Dreaming of things to do instead of dreaming

Shake their heads like shaggy dogs that run

And you

Down, to the bottom of my coffee cup

But I promise I will leave a drop

But if you get there before it dries I'll be surprised

I am waiting I am waving

But you can't see or hear or know or answer back

Down, around the corner, across the ocean

Under the leaves from all the trees that fall

Upon my rooftop I look up but I am down

Oh down, I have seen it underground

But I am lucky I have found a way back up

Climbed a mountain top, but I am down
