"Breaking Down" by Jeremy Messersmith http://www.myspace.com/jeremymessersmith My favorite song by one of my favorite hometown musicians. Here is the basic progression in the original key of G. Not hard at all, lovely song though. Great fun to harmonize on. Verse 1: G C C C/B I’ve got a car that’s always stuck in the last gear.
It’Ams starts and it goes if you leave it alone but yoDu can’t steer. G C C C/B Taking it out on a Sunday drive on the back roads And it Amwaits till I’m far away from home and thCe sun is gettinDg low
Chorus 2: G C C C/B And wouldn’t you know it, she’s breaking down again
AmPulling her over onto the shoulder, Cletting her under my Dskin Verse 2: G C C C/B I’ve got a woman that I haven’t seen for a good year She’Ams got a new job, yeah I love her a lot but shDe ain’t here. G C C C/B We’ve got a system and she’s got it all worked out But there’Ams something missing that she’s forgetting tChat she can’t live withDout
(Repeat Chorus) Verse 3: (repeat verse progression) I’ve got a car, it looks real good with the top down But it lost a tire and caught on fire in the last town I’ve got a girl who’s drying her eyes with a haiku So I’m hitching a ride down 35, gotta be there by afternoon (Repeat Chorus)
