I’m down

Lennon / McCartney –Beatles: Rock ‘n’ Roll Music (1976)

 


You tell lies thinking I can’t see,

G

You can’t cry cause you’re laughing at me

        C

I’m down (I’m really down),

        G

I’m down (down on the ground),

        C

I’m down (I’m really down)

D7                    G

How can you laugh, when you know I’m down?

D7                    G

(How can you laugh), when you know I’m down?

 

G

Men buy rings women throw it away,

G

Same old thing happen everyday

I’m down (I’m really down),

I’m down (down on the ground),

I’m down (I’m really down)

How can you laugh when you know I’m down?

(How can you laugh) when you know I’m down?

 

(Solo:)

 

We’re all alone with nobody else

She still says no, keep your hand to yourself

I’m down (I’m really down),

I’m down (down on the ground),

I’m down (I’m really down)

How can you laugh when you know I’m down?

(How can you laugh) when you know I’m down?

 

(Solo:)

 

Baby, you know I’m down (I’m really down)

I guess I’m down (I’m really down)

Down on the ground (I’m really down)

Yeah down (I’m really down)

I think I’m upside down

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

 

Yeah! (I’m really down)

Baby, I’m down (I’m really down)

I think I’m upside down (I’m really down)

On the ground (I’m really down)

I think I’m down

Yeah, I think I’m down, yeah

 

I think I’m down (I’m really down)

I think I’m down (I’m really down)

I think I’m down (I’m really down)
