Normal tuning (EADGBe) [Verse]
G
Billy wasn't sober

      C               G          C
He got pulled over in chinatown

G
Liquor on his breath

          C
Stuffs a pistol in the cushion

         G
Rolls the window down

             C                     G
Oh well, his heart it races like a hundred-yard dash

  C                    G
Stone cold on his face

   C                   G                   D
Policeman sends him reluctantly on his way
[Verse]
G
Billy wasn't sober

      C
He was hungover

      G      C
It was 10 am

G
Another day of work

  C                          G
Clutching the pillow like his only friend

              C
Oh well he's past his prime

        G
He's a dinosaur

  C                   G
Steadfast in his ways

C                   G                       D
No aces left but he still has cards to play
[Chorus]
       G                 G               C  G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon

He's not all the way down
[Verse]
G
Billy's getting older

        C                         G        C
The chip on his shoulder's getting heavier

G
Weight of the world

  C                  G
Spins and skids into oblivion

            C                         G
This ain't living, it's waiting 'round to die

        C                 G
There must be another way

C
Under his breath he says,

G                           D
"Things have got to change"
[Chorus]
       G                 G               C  G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon

         C       G    D
He's not all the way down

       G                 G               C  G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon

         C       G    D
He's not all the way down
[Bridge]
                 C      G
Searching but he got no soul

                 C      G
Wishing he could flip a switch

         C     G         C        G
Turn his life around and face the fact

     D
That life's a bitch
[Chorus]
       G                 G               C  G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon

         C       G    D
He's not all the way down

       G                 G               C  G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon

         C       G    D
He's not all the way down

       G                 G               C  G
And he hopes today he'll swim his way to Avalon

         C       G    D
He's not all the way down
