Verse 1
D
Sock it to me
Floatin' down the river
G
with a saturated liver
D
And I wish I could forgive her, but I
G
D
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

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

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
G

It's front page news

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
D
Goin' down
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

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
D
They give you three,
I've been down nine
Bm
I'm goin' down just one
more time
D
Goin' down
Bm
Goin' down, back
D
Goin' down
Bm
Goin' down
D
I'm goin' down, back, back, back
Bm
Goin' down, back, back, back, back, huh
D
Back, back, back, huh, back
Bm
D
Back, back, back, huh
Bm
Goin' down
D
Goin' down
Bm
I'm goin' down home
D
I'm goin' back home
Back to my friends
Bm
G
D
Back under the warm
Bm
And I can do with it, too
D
I'm goin' home, ah
Bm
D
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
Bm
down
down
D
I'm goin' down, back, back, back
Bm
Down in New Orleans, back,
back, back, back home
D
