(hold) Start
[verse 1]
BAfternoon see a guy with rubies on his Ahead
And he's Bshifting like, shifting like he was Adead
And he's Bhearing something, she never Asaid
On his Gway back home Aunder his Bbed
[Chorus]
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
[verse 2]
BIn the nights girl who doesn't mind her ragged Asleaves
BKnow that someone soon, is gonna Agrieve
And a Bman he tells her a story, she just can't Abelieve
Called "GAdam never Acould do right by BEve"
[chorus]
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
Down on F#you ,down on Ame
And a girl walks by Emburning bush
And she asks what's Ggone wrong here man
And he smiles and says "open Awide wide wide"
[Verse 3]
BIn my dreams candy coated train comes to my Adoor
With a Blittle girl I can't have Aanymore
You Bknow a letter washes to the Ashore
That GI cannot read Aand probably Bignore
[Chorus]
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
BWhen the weiGght comes Adown
BWhen the weight, Gwhen the weight comes Adown
BDown on me , Gdown on me, down on Ame
BOh no I cannot breathe G,I cannot breatheA oh no
BWell get out, get out ,Gget out ,get out Ano no oh no
BOh no, oh no , Goh no , no , no ,no A
