Living It Down

by Delbert McClinton

D7

My ship came and she sunk it,

G7

I was the toast of the town and she drunk it.

D7 G7

I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.

D A D

And now she's puttin' on a show and I get to play the clown.

D7

I had the wind in my sails and she took it ,

G7

I had the world by the tail and she shook it.

D7 G7

I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose

D7 A D

I got the short end of the chicken and she got the golden goose.

Chorus: G7 (play slide guiter) D7

She's living it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down.

D7 D7 E7 A7

Just when I got it all together ,it's all about to come unwound.

G7 D7 G7

Everybody laughin' behind my back,baby sure is a sad old sound.

D A D

She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live it down.

REPEAT THE INTRO take a lead

D7 G7

D7 G7

D A D

D7

I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em,

G7

I had my eggs in a basket she dropped 'em

D7 G7

I threw her outta the house but she was back like a boomarang.

D7 A D

Sometimes you get the honey,sometime all you get is the stang.

Chorus: G7 D7

She's living it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down.

D7 D7 E7 A7

Just when I got it all together ,it's all about to come unwound.

G7 D7 G7

Everybody laughin' behind my back,baby sure is a sad old sound.

D A D G

She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live it down.

D A D

She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live it down.
