Verse 1
(D major) Sock it to me
Floatin' down the river
with a (G major) saturated liver
And I (D major) wish I could forgive her, but I
(G major) do believe she (D major) meant it
When she told me to forget
it, and I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning
(G major) wet and drowned (D major)
And the word gets (G major) 'round (B flat major)
I'm goin' (D major) down
(G major) I'm goin' (D major) down
Verse 2
(D major) Comin' up for air,
it's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say I didn't care,
but I forgot to leave a (B minor) note
And it's so (D major) 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 (G major) news (B flat major)
Goin' (D major) down

Verse 3
Goin' down
(D major)
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(G major) Hey, hey, (B flat major) hey, hey
(D major)
Verse 4
(D major) 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
I don't want no (G major) more (B flat major)
Goin' (D major) down
I'm goin' down
Verse 5
And (D major) 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
This dirty (G major) brown (B flat major)
Goin' (D major) down
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' down, (B minor) hey, hey (D major)
Goin' down (B minor)
Goin' down (D major)
Goin' down (B minor)
Goin' down
(G major) Goin' down (D major)
Goin' down (B minor)
Verse 6
I (D major) wished I'd looked before I leaped
I (B minor) didn't know it was so deep
Been (D major) down so far I don't get wet
I (B minor) haven't touched the bottom yet
(D major) This river scene is gettin' old
I'm (B minor) hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She (D major) told me to forget it nice
I (B minor) should have taken her advice
I (D major) only wanna go on (B minor) home
I'd gladly leave that (G major) girl alone
(D major) What a way to spend the night
If (B minor) I don't drown, I'll die of fright
My (D major) pappy taught me how to float
But I (B minor) can't swim a single note
(D major) He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed (B minor) there floatin' like a mama cow
And (D major) now I've floated way downstream
(B minor) Know this has to be a dream
If I (D major) could find my way to shore
I'd (B minor) never, never do this anymore
(G major) They (D major) give you three,
I've been down nine
I'm (B minor) goin' down just one
more time
Goin' down (D major)
Goin' down, (B minor) back
Goin' down (D major)
Goin' down (B minor)
I'm goin' down, (D major) back, back, back
Goin' (B minor) down, back, back, back, back, huh
(D major) Back, back, back, huh, back
(B minor) Back, back, back, huh (D major)
Goin' down (B minor)
Goin' down (D major)
I'm goin' down (B minor) home
I'm goin' back (D major) home
Back to my friends
(B minor) Back (G major) under the warm (D major)
And I can do with it, too (B minor)
I'm goin' home, (D major) ah
(B minor) (D major) (B minor)
Verse 7
(D major) Now the sky is gettin' light
And (B minor) everything will be alright
(D major) Think I finally got the knack
Just (B minor) floatin' and lazin'
on my back (D major)
I never really liked that town
(B minor) I think I'll ride the river (D major) down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
(B minor) There's a river swinging under me
(D major) Waving back to the folks
on shore (B minor)
I should've thought of this before
(D major) I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
(B minor) And pick up on some swingin'
scenes (D major)
I'm gonna know a better day
(B minor) I'm goin' down groovin'
all the way
Goin' (D major) down
Go-go-go down
(B minor) down
down
I'm goin' (D major) down, back, back, back
Down in New Orleans, (B minor) back,
back, back, back home
(D major) I'm go-goin' down, (B minor) down,
hey, hey, hey, hey
Goin' (D major) on down, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm (B minor) go, go, go, goin' (D major) down
I'm (B minor) goin' down
Goin' (D major) down, go, go
Oh, (B minor) hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, (G major) hey, (D major) hey, hey
Got to, got (B minor) to, got to, got to,
got to, got to
(D major) Got to, got to, got to, got to, (B minor)
got to, (D major) got to go
Got to go, got to go (B minor) back home,
(D major) I'm goin' down
Down, down, down, (B minor) down, down,
down, down the river (D major) now
I gotta go, gotta go,
gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
