This is a great sing-along-song and because I could not find it anywhere
at all on the internet, I decided to learn the song and make this tab
myself. This is my first tab.
The song is in standard tuning.

G
I thought it was forever
G
I thought it would last
G
Gotta try to make it
G
A page of my past
C
You didn't even say goodbye
C G
When you slammed that door
G
Now I'm lyin' here alone
G
In what once was our bed
G
Trying to forget
G
All the cruel words you said
C
All the radio was playing
C G
What once was our favorite song
Em A7
Oh enough is enough I won't take anymore
C D7
I'm picking myself up off the floor
G Cadd9 G
Cause you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oh no you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
The strumming rhythm for the chorus might be tricky at first
*Lick*
G
Gonna dress up in my finest
G
Clothes that I own
G
And take it to the streets
G
I won't be lonely for long
C
Gonna put on my best moves
C G
On every single woman I see
G
Now you thought you could break me
G
Add me to your list
G
Notch me on your gun
G
Let me tell you this
C
I've got news for you baby
C G
I don't break that easily
G G Cadd9 G
Cause you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oh no you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
*Lick*
G
I'll be out there on the scene
G
Hangin' with my friends
G
This world's gonna see
G
Me smilin' again
C
I'm taking some time
C G
To erase you from my memory
G
Don't write any letters
G
Don't call me on the phone
G
Don't knock on my door
G
Cause to you I'm not at home
C
I know there's a woman out there
C G
For a man like me
G Cadd9 G
Cause you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oh no you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
Em A7
Oh enough is enough I won't take anymore
C D7
I'm picking myself up off the floor
G Cadd9 G
Cause you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Baby, You can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Honey, you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
*Chorus again*
That should be it.
