Intro
ch]E7[/ch
Sock it to me
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]E7[/ch
Floatin' down the river with a saturated liver and I wish I could forgive her
ch]E7[/ch
But I do believe she meant it when she told me to forget it and I bet she will regret it
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned and the word gets 'round
N.C. [ch]E7[/ch]
Goin' down. Goin' down
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]E7[/ch
Comin' up for air, it's pretty stuffy under there there, I'd like to say I didn't care
ch]E7[/ch
But I forgot to leave a note and it's so hard to stay afloat, I'm soakin' wet without a boat
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes, it's front page news
N.C. [ch]E7[/ch]
Goin' down. Goin' down
Instrumental
ch]E7[/ch
Hey-hey. Hey-hey
ch]A[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]E7[/ch
I wish I had another drink, it wouldn't be so hard to sink. I should have taken time to think
ch]E7[/ch
Besides I got the picture straight, she must have had another date. I didn't need this extra weight
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I wish that I could see the way to shore. I don't want no more
N.C. [ch]E7[/ch]
Goin' down, I'm goin' down
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]E7[/ch
And now I see the life I led. I slept it all away in bed. I should have learned how to swim instead
ch]E7[/ch
And now it's really got me stumped. I can't believe I really jumped. I'd like to get my tummy pumped
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town, this dirty brown
N.C. [ch]E7[/ch]
Goin' down, goin' down. I'm goin' down
ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
Goin' down, hey, hey. I'm down. Goin' down. Goin' down
ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Goin' down. Goin' down. Goin' down
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I wished I'd looked before I leaped. I didn't know it was so deep
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Been down so far I don't get wet. I haven't touched the bottom yet
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
This river scene is gettin' old. I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
She told me to forget it nice. I should have taken her advice
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I only want to go on home. I'd gladly leave that girl alone
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
What a way to spend the night, if I don't drown, I'll die of fright
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
My pappy taught me how to float, but I can't swim a single note
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
He threw me in to teach me how. I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
And now I've floated way downstream, know this has to be a dream
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
If I could find my way to shore. I'd never, never do this anymore
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I'll give you three, I've been down nine. I'm goin' down just one more time
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Goin' down. Goin' down. Goin' down. Goin' down
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I'm goin' down, back, back, back, goin' down, back, back, back
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Back, back, back, back, back back, back, back
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Goin' down. Goin' down. I'm goin' down
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I'm goin' back home, back home to my friends
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Back under the warm, and I can do with it, too
Instrumental
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I'm goin' home
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Now the sky is gettin' light, and everythng will be all right
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Think I finally got the knack, just floatin' here lazy on my back
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I never really liked that town. I think I'll ride the river down
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Just movin' slow and floatin' free, there's a river swinging under me
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Waving back to the folks on shore. I should have thought of this before
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans, and pick up on some swingin' scenes
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I'm gonna know a better day. I'm goin' down groovin' all the way
Outro
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Goin' down. Go-go-go-in' down
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
I'm goin' down, back, back, back. I'm goin' back, back, back home
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
I'm go-goin' down, hey, hey, hey, hey. Goin' on down, hey, hey, hey, hey
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
