The Monkees - Goin down

^E7 Sock it to me

^E7Floatin' down the river with a saturated liver and I wish I could forgive her ^E7But I do believe she meant it when she told me to forget it and I bet she will regret it ^E7When they find me in the morning wet and drowned and the word gets '^Around^C

^N.C.Goin' down^E7. Goin' down

^E7Comin' up for air, it's pretty stuffy under there there, I'd like to say I didn't care ^E7But I forgot to leave a note and it's so hard to stay afloat, I'm soakin' wet without a boat ^E7And I knew I should have taken off my shoes, it's front page ^Anews^{C N.C.}Goin' down^E7. Goin' down

^E7 Hey-hey. Hey-hey Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey^A, hey, hey, ^Chey, hey^E7

^E7I wish I had another drink, it wouldn't be so hard to sink. I should have taken time to think ^E7Besides I got the picture straight, she must have had another date. I didn't need this extra weight ^E7I wish that I could see the way to shore. I don't want no ^Amore^C

^N.C.Goin' down^E7, I'm goin' down

^E7And now I see the life I led. I slept it all away in bed. I should have learned how to swim instead ^E7And now it's really got me stumped. I can't believe I really jumped. I'd like to get my tummy pumped ^E7I can't believe they drink this stuff in town, this dirty ^Abrown^C

^N.C.Goin' down^E7, goin' down. I'm goin' down Goin' ^C#mdown, hey, hey. I'm ^E7down. Goin' ^C#mdown. Goin' ^E7down Goin' ^C#mdown. Goin' ^E7down. Goin' ^C#mdown

I ^E7wished I'd looked before I leaped. I ^C#mdidn't know it was so deep Been ^E7down so far I don't get wet. I ^C#mhaven't touched the bottom yet This ^E7river scene is gettin' old. I'm ^C#mhungry, sleepy, wet and cold She ^E7told me to forget it nice. I ^C#mshould have taken her advice I ^E7only want to go on home. I'd ^C#mgladly leave that girl alone ^E7What a way to spend the night, if^C#m I don't drown, I'll die of fright My ^E7pappy taught me how to float, but^C#m I can't swim a single note He ^E7threw me in to teach me how. I ^C#mstayed there floatin' like a mama cow And ^E7now I've floated way downstream, ^C#mknow this has to be a dream If ^E7I could find my way to shore. I'd ^C#mnever, never do this anymore I'll ^E7give you three, I've been down nine. I'm ^C#mgoin' down just one more time

Goin' ^E7down. Goin' ^C#mdown. Goin' ^E7down. Goin' ^C#mdown I'm goin' ^E7down, back, back, back, goin' ^C#mdown, back, back, back ^E7 Back, back, back, back, ^C#mback back, back, back ^E7 Goin' ^C#mdown. Goin' ^E7down. I'm goin' ^C#mdown

I'm goin' back ^E7home, back home to my ^C#mfriends Back under the ^E7warm, and I can do with it, ^C#mtoo

I'm goin' ^E7hom^C#me ^{E7 C#m}

^E7Now the sky is gettin' light, and ^C#meverythng will be all right ^E7Think I finally got the knack, just ^C#mfloatin' here lazy on my back I ^E7never really liked that town. I ^C#mthink I'll ride the river down ^E7Just movin' slow and floatin' free, there's a ^C#mriver swinging under me ^E7Waving back to the folks on shore^C#m. I should have thought of this before I'm ^E7floatin' on down to New Orleans, and ^C#mpick up on some swingin' scenes ^E7 I'm gonna know a better day. I'm ^C#mgoin' down groovin' all the way

Goin' ^E7down. Go-go-go-in' ^C#mdown I'm goin' ^E7down, back, back, back. I'm goin' ^C#mback, back, back home ^E7 I'm go-goin' ^C#mdown, hey, hey, hey, hey. Goin' on ^E7down, hey, hey, hey, hey Go, go, goin' ^E7down. I'm goin' ^C#mdown Goin' ^E7down, go, go^C#m...
