D
Sock it to me
Floatin' down the river
G
with a saturated liver

And I wish I could forgive her, but I
G

do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget
it, and I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning
G
D
wet and drowned
G
Bb
And the word gets 'round
D
I'm goin' down
G
D
I'm goin' down
Verse 2
D
Comin' up for air,
it's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say I didn't care,
Bm
but I forgot to leave a note
D
And it's so hard to stay afloat,
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should've
taken off my shoes

It's front page news

Goin' down

Verse 4
D
I wish I had another drink,
it wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should've taken time to think,
besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date,
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
G
Bb
I don't want no more
D
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
Verse 5
D
And now I see the life I led,
I slept it all away in bed
I should've learned how to swim instead,
and now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe why I jumped,
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink
this stuff in town
G
Bb
This dirty brown

Verse 6
D
I wished I'd looked before I leaped
Bm
I didn't know it was so deep
D
Been down so far I don't get wet
Bm
I haven't touched the bottom yet
D
This river scene is gettin' old
Bm
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
D
She told me to forget it nice
Bm
I should have taken her advice
D
Bm
I only wanna go on home
G
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
D
What a way to spend the night
Bm
If I don't drown, I'll die of fright
D
My pappy taught me how to float
Bm
But I can't swim a single note
D
He threw me in to teach me how
Bm
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
D
And now I've floated way downstream
Bm
Know this has to be a dream
D
If I could find my way to shore
Bm
I'd never, never do this anymore
G

They give you three,
I've been down nine
Bm
I'm goin' down just one
more time

Goin' down, back

Goin' down

I'm goin' down, back, back, back

Back to my friends

Back under the warm
Bm
And I can do with it, too

I'm goin' home, ah
Bm

Verse 7
D
Now the sky is gettin' light
Bm
And everything will be alright
D
Think I finally got the knack
Bm
Just floatin' and lazin'
D
on my back
I never really liked that town
Bm
D
I think I'll ride the river down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
Bm
There's a river swinging under me
D
Waving back to the folks
Bm
on shore
I should've thought of this before
D
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
Bm
And pick up on some swingin'
D
scenes
I'm gonna know a better day
Bm
I'm goin' down groovin'
all the way
D
Goin' down
Go-go-go down

Down in New Orleans, back,

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
