[Verse 1]
GLike a paraBmtrooper
EmJumping into the Cfray
GOr a pesky Bminsect
That’s Emonly alive for one Cday

To Emgrab your face and Csay
That you Gonly have one Bmlife to live
Now Emwhy would you chance that Caway
 G   Bm   Em   C(x2)
[Verse 2]
GStanding by the Bmriver bank
You Emleft the strait and Cnarrow
GYou had a Bmquiver but
You’ve Embroken your last Carrow
GYour life’s amBmbition was
To Emsuck out all the Cmarrow
But you’re Ggoing down

You’re Emgoing down in a Cbarrel

A Emfleeting thing and Chow
But you’re Ggoing down
You’re Bmgoing down
You’re Emgoing down right Cnow!
[Chorus 2]
