Tonart: E major•
Verse 1
Floatin' down the river
E
And I wish I could forgive her, but I
A
E
do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget
it, and I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning
A
E
wet and drowned
A
C
And the word gets 'round
A
E
I'm goin' down
Verse 2
it's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say I didn't care,
C#m
but I forgot to leave a note
E
And it's so hard to stay afloat,
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should've
taken off my shoes
A
C
It's front page news
Verse 3
Goin' down
E
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
A
C
Hey, hey, hey, hey
E
Verse 4
E
I wish I had another drink,
it wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should've taken time to think,
besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date,
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
A
C
I don't want no more
I'm goin' down
Verse 5
E
And now I see the life I led,
I slept it all away in bed
I should've learned how to swim instead,
and now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe why I jumped,
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink
this stuff in town
A
C
This dirty brown
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
C#m
E
Goin' down, hey, hey
Goin' down
A
E
Goin' down
Verse 6
E
I wished I'd looked before I leaped
C#m
I didn't know it was so deep
E
Been down so far I don't get wet
C#m
I haven't touched the bottom yet
E
This river scene is gettin' old
C#m
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
E
She told me to forget it nice
C#m
I should have taken her advice
E
C#m
I only wanna go on home
A
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
E
What a way to spend the night
C#m
If I don't drown, I'll die of fright
E
My pappy taught me how to float
C#m
But I can't swim a single note
E
He threw me in to teach me how
C#m
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
E
And now I've floated way downstream
C#m
Know this has to be a dream
E
If I could find my way to shore
C#m
I'd never, never do this anymore
A
E
They give you three,
I've been down nine
C#m
I'm goin' down just one
more time
E
Goin' down
E
I'm goin' down, back, back, back
C#m
Goin' down, back, back, back, back, huh
E
Back, back, back, huh, back
C#m
E
Back, back, back, huh
C#m
I'm goin' down home
Back to my friends
C#m
A
E
Back under the warm
C#m
And I can do with it, too
C#m
E
C#m
Verse 7
E
Now the sky is gettin' light
C#m
And everything will be alright
E
Think I finally got the knack
C#m
Just floatin' and lazin'
I never really liked that town
C#m
E
I think I'll ride the river down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
C#m
There's a river swinging under me
E
Waving back to the folks
I should've thought of this before
E
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
C#m
And pick up on some swingin'
E
scenes
I'm gonna know a better day
C#m
I'm goin' down groovin'
all the way
Go-go-go down
C#m
down
down
E
I'm goin' down, back, back, back
C#m
Down in New Orleans, back,
back, back, back home
E
C#m
I'm go-goin' down, down,
hey, hey, hey, hey
E
Goin' on down, hey, hey, hey, hey
C#m
E
I'm go, go, go, goin' down
C#m
A
E
Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
C#m
Got to, got to, got to, got to,
got to, got to
E
C#m
Got to, got to, got to, got to,
C#m
Got to go, got to go back home,
C#m
Down, down, down, down, down,
E
down, down the river now
I gotta go, gotta go,
gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
