[Intro]
Eb Bb
[Verse 1]
Eb
Goin down, goin down
Bb
Gonna find another way
Eb
Goin down, goin down
Bb
As my old man would say
F
Gotta shake that ball and chain
Bb
Turn the wheels and go
Eb
Goin down, goin down,
Bb
Hear the music play
Eb
Gonna leave it on the floor
Bb
Gonna dance these blues away
F
When the good ole boy start pickin
F
Turn the night to the day
[Chorus]
Gm F
Going down to the Rockdale
Eb Bb
Gonna lay it all down for you
Gm F
Leave your coat at the hotel
Bb Cm
We'll be hanging in the old barroom
[Verse 2]
Eb
Lock the doors, feed the hounds,
Bb
Be at least a day or two,
Eb
Grabbed the bible, make my rounds,
Bb
Till there's nothing left to do,
F
Glass jar with the money,
F
Funny, how 'bout those dancing shoes?
[Chorus]
Gm F
Going down to the Rockdale
Eb Bb
Gonna lay it all down for you
Gm F
Leave your coat at the hotel
Bb Cm
We'll be hanging in the old barroom
[Chorus]
Bb Dm Eb
I don't know if I'll ever go home again,
Bb F Eb
The open road's got me thinking like a different man,
Bb F Eb
Fifteen miles to the places we might go,
Bb F
So I'll let my ears to the wind,
[Outro]
Gm F
Going down to the Rockdale
Eb Bb
Gonna lay it all down for you
Gm F
Leave your coat at the hotel
Bb Cm
We'll be hanging in the old barroom
Gm F
Going down to the Rockdale
Eb Bb
Gonna lay it all down for you
Gm F
One life to live for,
Bb Cm
And the sun will be rising soon
Goin’ down, goin’ down,
Gonna find another way,
Goin’ down, goin’ down,
As my old man would say,
Gotta shake that ball and chain,
Turn the wheels and go!
Goin’ down, goin’ down,
Hear the music play,
Gonna leave it on the floor,
Gonna dance these blues away!
When the good ol’ boys start pickin’,
Turn the night to the day,
Going down to the Rockdale,
Gonna lay it all down for you,
Leave your coat at the hotel,
We’ll be hanging in the old barroom
Lock the doors, feed the hounds,
Be at least a day or two,
Grabbed the bible, make my rounds,
Till there’s nothing left to do,
Glass jar with the money,
Funny, how ‘bout dancing shoes?
Going down to the Rockdale,
Gonna lay it all down for you,
Leave your coat at the hotel,
We’ll be hanging in the old barroom
Going down to the Rockdale,
Gonna lay it all down for you,
Leave your coat at the hotel,
We’ll be hanging in the old barroom
(Jam)
I don’t know if I’ll ever go home again,
The open road’s got me thinking like a different man,
Fifteen miles to the places we might go,
So I’ll lend my ears to the wind,
Going down to the Rockdale,
Gonna lay it all down for you,
Leave your coat at the hotel,
We’ll be hanging in the old barroom
Going down to the Rockdale,
Gonna lay it all down for you,
One life to live for,
And the sun will be rising soon
