Title: While The World Goes Down the Drain

Intro:  C - G - F - C

(verse 1)

C
Some kids grew up on mean streets

Dealin' with the crips and bloods

But me I was born on a back road
     F           Bb                  C
In a four-by-four rollin' through the mud 

The street kid deals with the dealer

And he's always watchin' his back

Me, I'm watchin' a line, with a woman of mine
F           Bb         C
Down by the creek bank shack 


(chorus)

C
Give me 308 and a shotgun
      Bb        F        C
And a gallon of homemade wine

Drop me off on a mountainside
          G 
Where the bear and the deer reside
     Bb                      F
I'll spend my nights sittin' round the fire
Bb          F      C
Makin' this guitar ring

I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines
          Bb          G        C
While the world goes down the drain 


(verse 2)

C
Just to dwell on life in the city

Is makin' my blood run cold

'Cause miles and miles of concrete
      F          Bb    C
Eats away at the human soul 
C
When you live and die in the country

There's a little that your heart can mourn

With your hands in the dirt and a little work
        F       Bb      C
You can weather out any storm 


(chorus)

C
Give me 308 and a shotgun
      Bb        F        C
And a gallon of homemade wine

Drop me off on a mountainside
          G 
Where the bear and the deer reside
     Bb                      F
I'll spend my nights sittin' round the fire
Bb          F      C
Makin' this guitar ring

I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines
          Bb          G        C
While the world goes down the drain


(lead -  Bb - C - Bb - F - C - Bb - C - Bb - F - G - F - Bb)


(chorus)

C
Give me 308 and a shotgun
      Bb        F        C
And a gallon of homemade wine

Drop me off on a mountainside
          G 
Where the bear and the deer reside
     Bb                      F
I'll spend my nights sittin' round the fire
Bb          F      C
Makin' this guitar ring

I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines
          Bb          G        C
While the world goes down the drain

I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines 
          Bb         G        C    - C - G - F - C
While the world goes down the drain
