Don't Go Down chords by Elliott Smith

Tuning: D Tuning (D G C F A D)

Verse 1:
E              A7
I met a girl, a snowball in hell
     Am7      G           C   D  D#
She was as hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell
E                   A7
I got her to come on and move in with me
   Am7        G          C5 D5 G5 A5 B5
And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity

Chorus:
     C5   B5   A5
Don't go down, don't go down
D5      G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 B5
Stay with me, baby stay

Verse 2:
E          A7
Her mama called me a thief
    Am7    G          C   D  D#
And her dad called himself commander-in-chief
E            A7
I fought him off with my love
   Am7        G          C5 D5 G5 A5 B5
But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above

Chorus:
     C5  B5    A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5       G5 C5 G5 C5 G5  B5
Stay with me, Baby, stay
     C5  B5    A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5       G5 C5 G5 C5 G5  B5
Stay with me, Baby, stay

Verse 3:
E              A7
She had a dream, woke up in shock
    Am7     G        C
She had seen her own body outlined in chalk
E                   A7
I split the scene, the globe had been spun
    Am7         G       C5 D5 G5  A5 B5
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me with a message from the sun

Outro:
     C5  B5    A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5         C5
Stay with me, Baby stay

B5    A5
Don't go down
D5         C5
Stay with me, Baby stay

B5    A5
Don't go down
D5         G5
Stay with me, Baby, stay
G5
Stay
