The beginning of the song starts sliding from A to Bb then the Eb three times. This occurs throughout the
song. From what I can find, there are only live versions. If you listen to the recording, you can
pick up when they play it. There is only a little lick the Rick plays within the structure of the Bb major
pentatonic. He also alternates near the final lick to the Bb minor pentatonic. Then for the JAM you can just
vamp on the Bb minor pentatonic and rock out. Its a real fun song to play.
[Intro]
Eb Bb
[Verse 1]
Eb Goin down, goin down Bb Gonna find another way Eb Goin down, goin down Bb As my old man would say F Gotta shake that ball and chain Bb Turn the wheels and go Eb Goin down, goin down, Bb Hear the music play Eb Gonna leave it on the floor Bb Gonna dance these blues away F When the good ole boy start pickin F Turn the night to the day
[Chorus]
Gm F Going down to the Rockdale Eb Bb Gonna lay it all down for you Gm F Leave your coat at the hotel Eb Cm We'll be hanging in the old barroom
[Verse 2]
Eb Lock the doors, feed the hounds, Bb Be at least a day or two, Eb Grabbed the bible, make my rounds, Bb Till there's nothing left to do, F Glass jar with the money, F Honey, how 'bout those dancing shoes?
[Chorus]
Gm F Going down to the Rockdale Eb Bb Gonna lay it all down for you Gm F Leave your coat at the hotel Eb Cm We'll be hanging in the old barroom
[Bridge]
Eb Bb F I don't know if I'll ever go home again, Eb Bb F The open road's got me thinking like a different man, Eb Bb F Fifteen miles to the places we might go, Eb F So I'll let my ears to the wind,
[Outro]
Gm F Going down to the Rockdale Eb Bb Gonna lay it all down for you Gm F Leave your coat at the hotel Eb Cm We'll be hanging in the old barroom Gm F Going down to the Rockdale Eb Bb Gonna lay it all down for you Gm F One life to live for, Eb Cm And the sun will be rising soon
