John Hiatt – Go Down Swingin (Guitar)

D
Kickin' and a-screamin'

     G     D
Only way I learn

    D
I'm afraid of my own shadow

        G                 A
Not the bridge around the turn

       G                     D
Well I lost myself and found myself

      G                D
While you were kissin' ass

      Bm
And I know it's not your nature

        A      D
Just to let me pass

          G       D
I'm gonna go down swingin'

G                D
Singin' till the end

          Bm
I'm gonna go down swingin'

        G                A
You and me and your best friend

          G       D
I'm gonna go down swingin'

      G                D
Upper cut and two left jabs

          Bm                         A       D
I'm gonna go down swingin' with everything I have

D
Sometimes I am a predator

G               D
Prowlin' for my life

D
Other times I am a field mouse

G               A
Running for the sides

       G                 D
Of the biggest, flattest corn field

               G       D
Bigger than my Indiana home

        Bm
Til the harvest comes along

               A    D
And I leave my tiny bones

          G       D
I'm gonna go down swingin'

G                D
Singin' till the end

          Bm
I'm gonna go down swingin'

         G         A
Like the Duke recommends

          G       D
I'm gonna go down swingin'

        G                 D
For the bleachers in left field

          Bm                      A        D
I'm gonna go down swingin' like a blade of steel

D
There's a scarecrow scarin' nothin'

        G             D
Trumpet player in the barn

         D
And he's puffin' both his cheeks out

         G                A
And he's liftin' both his arms

      G                  D
As he blows his notes to heaven

       G                  D
As the preacher dunks you in

    Bm
And all along the river

           A        D
The air is sweet as sin

        G       D
I wanna go down swingin'

     G         D
Hallelujah Gabriel

        Bm
I wanna go down swingin'

       G                 A
Oh you play the blues so well

        G       D
I wanna go down swingin'

G                   D
Three sheets to the wind

        Bm                            A      D
I wanna go down swingin', punch drunk to the end
