Hollies - I'm Down INTRO: G C G C C-G C C-G C
         G                                       C
Shook my head out of dreams, reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
    G                                         D
But I've got no notion of moving from where I am

         G                                  C
Well, my legs won't move, I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf, an article labelled
G                                             D
Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found
CHORUS:
    C                       G
I'm down, no one to hear me calling

    C                      G       C-G
I'm down, no one to see me falling

    C     G
I'm down___

                                   C
Had my ways with days of sunshine

                                     G
Life came easy, it all fell in line

                           D
But then again I didn't realise

            G                                
When you're used to one thing, it's hard to accept another

         C                                                      G
Like the woman who brought you up, well, she ain't your mother

                                  D
How do you cope with a thing like that
CHORUS:
    C                       G
I'm down, no one to hear me calling

    C                      G       C-G
I'm down, no one to see me falling

    C     G
I'm down___
BRIDGE:
  Bm
I always thought it was my dad who went to war

C                                 G
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall

   Bm
My pseudo brother, Billy, emigrated long ago

Am                                    C
Someone went through pain to have me

Dm
Someone I should know

    G   Bm Em  G C Bm Am C
I'm down,  oh, ohhh

    G   Bm Em  G C Bm Am C
I'm down,  oh, ohhh

       G                                
To the folks who brought me up, I'm not ungrateful

C                                                      G
Kept the secret from me, they thought it was shameful

                                    D
It hurt me so to be the last one to know

      G                                
Maybe someone's out there looking for me

C                                                G
Left on their own, couldn't afford to clothe me

                                  D
And I, I don't even know my real name
CHORUS:
    C                       G
I'm down, no one to hear me calling

    C                      G       
I'm down, no one to see me falling

    C     G
I'm down___

    C     G
I'm down___

    C
I'm down______
