Breakdown is a very simple song. I didn't put too much detail. It is quite
easy.Enjoy.

The first part is maybe a mix of guitar and whistle.

Just like children hiding... What's going on outside

G              D

Sometimes we're so far off... We'll get taken for a ride

G           A

By a parlor trick or a word of wit

F#         G           G

A Hidden hand up a sleeve to think that...

G           A

...Is so little hard to believe... But everybody darlin...

A               D

Sometimes bites the hand that feeds

G
