Hollies - I'm Down
INTRO: G C G C C-G C C-G C
G C
Shook my head out of dreams, reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
G D
But I've got no notion of moving from where I am
G C
Well, my legs won't move, I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf, an article labelled
G D
Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found
CHORUS:
C G
I'm down, no one to hear me calling
C G C-G
I'm down, no one to see me falling
C G
I'm down___
C
Had my ways with days of sunshine
G
Life came easy, it all fell in line
D
But then again I didn't realise
G
When you're used to one thing, it's hard to accept another
C G
Like the woman who brought you up, well, she ain't your mother
D
How do you cope with a thing like that
CHORUS:
C G
I'm down, no one to hear me calling
C G C-G
I'm down, no one to see me falling
C G
I'm down___
BRIDGE:
Bm
I always thought it was my dad who went to war
C G
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
Bm
My pseudo brother, Billy, emigrated long ago
Am C
Someone went through pain to have me
Dm
Someone I should know
G Bm Em G C Bm Am C
I'm down, oh, ohhh
G Bm Em G C Bm Am C
I'm down, oh, ohhh
G
To the folks who brought me up, I'm not ungrateful
C G
Kept the secret from me, they thought it was shameful
D
It hurt me so to be the last one to know
G
Maybe someone's out there looking for me
C G
Left on their own, couldn't afford to clothe me
D
And I, I don't even know my real name
CHORUS:
C G
I'm down, no one to hear me calling
C G
I'm down, no one to see me falling
C G
I'm down___
C G
I'm down___
C
I'm down______
