Down, Down, Down chords by

N/A
Verse 1
G
D
G

With your kind attention,

the song I will trill

On you who must toil
D

with a pick and the drill
G

Sweat for your bread in

that hole in Oak Hill
D
G
D
G

That goes down, down, down

When I was a lad, says my daddy to me

Stay out of Oak Hill,
D

take my warning, says he
G

Or with dust you'll be choked,
D

and a popper you'll be broken down,
G
D
G

down, down.

But I went to Oak Hill

and I asked for a job,

a mule for to drive
D

or a gangway to rob.
G

The boss says, come out, Bill,

and follow the mob
D
G
D
G

that goes down, down, down.

On the strength of the job

and the tune of this rhyme

Strolled into Thames
D

and drank twenty -five shines
G

Reported next morning half dead
D

But on time to go down,
G
D
G

down, down

All aboard for the bottom,

the top man did yell

We stepped in the cage
D

and he ding -donged the bell
G

Threw that hole in Oak Hill

like a bat out
D
G
D
G

Hell, we went down, down, down.

She was blocked from the dish

to the knuckle with smoke.

The dust was so thick,
D

I thought I would choke.
G

Says I to myself,
D

I guess here's where I croak away down,
G
D
G

down, down.

I groped to a gangway,

I got me a scoop.

The cot was just fired,
D

muck heap up to the roof,
G

I scooped and I scooped

till my back looped the loop,
D
G
D
G

stoopin' down, down, down.

All I drew for the year was

a dollar or three,
D

Those company store thieves

made a pumper of me,
G

But for ballads like this one

I'd have starved for a spree
D
G
D
G

in the town, town, town.

Toil, you butterly grey,

on my poor daddy's head,
D

While he slaved at Oak Hill

to provide us with bread,
G

I wish I had heeded the

warning he pled,
D
G

Don't go down, down, down,
D
G

Don't go down, down, down.
D
G

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
