Chords

From: [email protected] (Lefty) ============== John Cougar Mellencamp (From the album "Uh-huh") Yes, even more JCM. This is one of my favourite JCM songs. The next will probably be "The Authority Song". Once again, this is from a book of Mellencamp chords, not my own dodgy interpretation. Medium Rock Tempo ----------------- [Intro]

[Verse I]
              A       G/A
Well, some people ain't no damn good.

               A                             G/A
You can't trust `em, you can't love `em.  No good deed goes unpunished.

      A              G/A
And I don't mind being their whippin' boy.

     A                 G/A
I've had that pleasure for years and years

          A                         G/A
No, no, I never was a sinner.  Tell me, what else can I do?

       A                         G/A
Second best is what you get till you learn to bend the rules

    A                           G/A
And time respects no person and what you lift up must fall

        A                        G/A
They're waitin' outside to claim my crumblin' walls.

       E
Saw my picture in the paper, read the news around my face.
And now some people don't want to treat me the same. [Chorus]
               A        G        D
When the walls     come tumblin' down;

         A            G                D
When the walls   come crumblin', crumblin';

         A            G              D         A
When the walls   come tumblin', tumblin'  down.
(Repeat Intro) [Verse II]
          A              G/A
Well some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy,

    A              G/A
I'm uneducated, my opinion means nothin'.

    A            G/A
But I know I'm a real good dancer.

      A                                G/A
Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after.

    A                            G/A
Everybody's got their problems.  Ain't no new news here.

        A                            G/A
I'm the same old trouble you've been havin' for years.

      A                                               G/A
Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl.  It's perfectly clear.

       A               G/A
Just a human desire to have you come near.

        E
Want to put my arms around you, feel your breath in my ear.
You can bend me, you can break me but you better stand clear. [Chorus]
         A              G        D
When the walls     come tumblin' down;

         A            G                D
When the walls   come crumblin', crumblin';

         A            G              D
When the walls   come tumblin', tumblin'

G          D         A
Crumblin', crumblin' down.
[Chorus]
               A
When the walls     come tumblin' down;

         A
When the walls   come rumblin', rumblin';

         A
When the walls   (when the walls) come tumblin', crumblin'  down.

        E
Want to put my arms around you, feel your breath in my ear.
You can bend me, you can break me but you better stand clear. [Chorus]

When the walls     come tumblin' down;

When the walls   come crumblin', crumblin';

When the walls   come tumblin', tumblin'
