G  A7  Am7 D7 G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                                     A7
Downtown's got a bunch of bands, with rock and roll six stringin'
       Am7            D7         G
But if I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'
D       G                         A7
Do some one, two stepping to some old Bob Wills' singin'
         Am7            D7         G
Yeah, if I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm             G
Dallas down to San Antone
C
Rolling like a rolling stone
D7                                G
I'll stop for every flashing neon light
Em
Driving down them f.m. roads
     G          A7
With a.m. on my radio
                                    D
Ace in the hole band play me home tonight
G                            A7
Hammer down on the beat that po-po said I'm speedin'
                          D7      G
He can lock me up but I'm goin' down swingin'

[Verse 2]
G                                      A7
You're a little country for today, but what the hell so be it
          Am7         D7         G
If you're goin' down, go on down swingin'
D   G                                          A7
You know you're way behind the times with this twang thing you're bringing
Am7             D7         G
If you go down, go on down swingin'
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm          G
I am what I say I am
C
You don't like me, I don't give a damn
   Am7                D7             G
No one can please 'em all and that's all right
    Em              G                                   A7
You know I ain't no scaredy crow, I'll put 'em up there toe to toe
                                   D
Ain't gonna ring no bell without a fight
   G                                 Am7
If they think they can knock me out, boy they better bring it
                  D7      G
If I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'

Gonna go see my little gal later on this evening
             D7                                    G
She got some sun brewed sweat tea kisses that need stealin'
D                                      A7
Gonna hold her tight hanging from that back porch ceiling
           Am7            D
Watch that hot Texas sun, goin' down swingin'
 G  A7  Am7 D G D G  A7  D  G
