Hollies - I'm Down
INTRO:    G     C     G     C  C-   G     C  C-   G  C  
Shook my Ghead out of dreams, reality's callingC  
The early bird's been up all morning
But GI've got no notion of moving from where I Dam
Well, my Glegs won't move, I feel disabledC  
I'm on a shelf, an article labelled
GWaiting for someone to fetch me from lost and Dfound
CHORUS:
I'm Cdown, no one to hear me Gcalling
                          C         G  C-G  
I'm down, no one to see me falling
I'm Cdown__G_
Had my ways with days of sunshineC  
Life came easy, it all fell in lineG  
But then again I didn't reaDlise
When you're Gused to one thing, it's hard to accept another
Like the Cwoman who brought you up, well, she ain't your motherG  
How do you cope with a thing like Dthat
CHORUS:
I'm Cdown, no one to hear me Gcalling
                          C         G  C-G  
I'm down, no one to see me falling
I'm Cdown__G_
BRIDGE:
I Bmalways thought it was my dad who went to war
CThought it was my sister who fell Goff the wall
My Bmpseudo brother, Billy, emigrated long ago
AmSomeone went through pain to have meC  
DmSomeone I should know
I'm GdownBm,  Emoh, GohChhBm  Am  C  
I'm GdownBm,  Emoh, GohChhBm  Am  C  
To the Gfolks who brought me up, I'm not ungrateful
CKept the secret from me, they thought it was shamefulG  
It hurt me so to be the last one to Dknow
Maybe Gsomeone's out there looking for me
CLeft on their own, couldn't afford to clothe meG  
And I, I don't even know my real nDame
CHORUS:
I'm Cdown, no one to hear me Gcalling
I'm Cdown, no one to see me Gfalling
I'm Cdown__G_
I'm Cdown__G_
I'm Cdown______

Shook my head out of dreams, reality's calling

The early bird's been up all morning

Had my ways with days of sunshine

Life came easy, it all fell in line

But then again I didn't realise

When you're used to one thing, it's hard to accept another

How do you cope with a thing like that
