Delbert Mcclinton - Livin It Down Chords & Tabs

D
My ship came in and she sunk it,
G
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it,
D								G
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.
D					A				D
And now she’s putting on shows where I get to play the clown.

I had the wind in my sails and she took it,
I had the world by the tail and she shook it,
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose,
I got the money for chicken she got to blow the goose.

CHORUS
G						D
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
					E		A
Just when I got it all together it all about to come (unplanned)?
G					D			G
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
D				A			D
She’s out there living it up and I’m trying to live it down

I had my ducks in a row and she shot them
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them
I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
Sometimes you get her honey sometimes all you get is her sting

CHORUS
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unplanned
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
She’s out there living it up and trying to live it down

She’s living it up and I intend to live it down
