 After the second chorus, this riff is played 3 times, and then its solo time (I havent
 the solo yet,
 but I may do it soon). The solo plays over the chords in one verse and one chorus, and
 Riff1 comes in again.
 guitar continues to play the rest of the song, and fades out together with the
 of the band.
 I was seldom sober in  nineteen hundred  and fifthy-four
 Hey baby, maybe 'cause my baby  had a baby  by me
 And I was still drinking dry gin
 while you cried "No,  no more"
 And you were lyin' and a-cryin',
  and your tears  fell dying  on the floor
 And I'm brought  down,
 and I don't think I can get up again
Brought  down,
 and my heart is hurt again
Brought  down, brought  down,  I'm brought down
 You were the fine lady in the early mornings
 that always painted her toes
 And lookin' towards the east
 you'd say hello to the early dawn before they rose
 And you were the love lady
 that always hung up her finely pressed clothes
 And sayin' so long to the western sundown,
 you taught me how it grows
 And I'm brought down,
 and I don't think I can get up again
 Brought down,
 and you just hurt my heart again
 Brought down
 Brought down
 I'm brought down
 Riff 1 and solo.
 Brought down
 I'm brought down,
 and I don't think I can get up again
 I'm brought down,
 I'm hurt, it's bad
 God, it's a shame there's no more Dr. Strangely Strange
 And I'm Brou...........ught  down
 And there must be more to life than this
