------- BEEN DOWN - Blue October http://youtu.be/QhdksoC8tkA ------- This is how I play the song on acoustic guitar. It can be a challenge in the G F G Am part - the G's are played really quickly (it follows the violin on the song.) You can leave them out for simple strumming. Anything in parenthesis can be left out for the sake of simplicity. Gadd4: (320013) or (32001X) ==INTRO== C - Fmaj7 ==VERSE==

^CI dreamt you seduced me ^Fmaj7just to walk away ^CI dreamt you inspired then r^Fmaj7ewired what I say ^CI dreamt you spread your bottom wings and ^Fmaj7pulled me to the bed But then I w^Coke up feeling nauseous, you ^Fmaj7danced around my head

==CHORUS==

==VERSE==
