Aint Going Down This Time - Tony Joe White Key: Bm Tempo: 99 [Intro] Bm Em Bm A Bm Em Bm [Verse]

^BmI ‘ve been layin’ low ^G- li^Avin’ in the sh^Bmadows Spendin’ ti^Em7me alone - conversations with the w^Bmall

Hangin’ on

^GI’m just ^Atryin’ to ^Bm matter And I re^Em7main, ^G tryin’ to make some s^Aense of it ^Bm all

^GI ‘ve been here ^Abefore, I’m familiar with the ^Bmpain ^GBut I ain’t runnin’ no m^Aore, there’s one thing ^F#7changed (-stop-)

[Chorus]

Ain’t goin’ ^Emdown this tim^Bme, ^GThis time I ^Aain’t goin’ dow^Bmn

[Verse]

^BmLike an undertow - I ^Gfeel the ^Apromis of the n^Bmighttime But I’ve been ^Em7down that road - and my search came to an e^Bmnd

I hit the motherload

^GEnough ^Ablues for a l^Bmifetime Now I’m digging ^Em7deep inside, ^Gtryin’ to find my ^Away back ag^Bmain

^GYou know you’ve ^Aentered the danger ^Bmzone ^GWhen you look in the ^Aeyes and there’s no one ^F#7home (-stop-)

[Chorus]

Ain’t goin’ ^Emdown this tim^Bme, ^GThis time I ^Aain’t goin’ dow^Bmn

[Solo] Bm G A Bm Em7 Bm A Bm G A Bm Em7 A Bm [Verse]

^BmDeep in the night ^G- I^A miss a woman’s t^Bmouch The fire burns ^Em7strong - and I’m drawn to the f^Bmlame

But I pay the price

^GWhen I get ^Acaught up in the ^Bmheartbeat And passion ^Em7flows ^G - ^Aun-res-trai^Bmned

^GNo one left to ^Ablame - I’m faced with the ^Bmtruth ^GAnd it’s all too p^Alain - when there’s nothing left to ^F#7lose (-stop-)

[Chorus]

Ain’t goin’ ^Emdown this tim^Bme, ^GThis time I ^Aain’t goin’ dow^Bmn

[Outro Solo] Bm G A Bm Em7 A Bm G A Bm Em7 A Bm
