D C G D (3 times)
Verse1:
D C
Well she was standin` by the highway
G D
In her boots and silver spurs
D C
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
G D
When a Cadillac tried for her
And he said Hey nice to meet you
Are you goin` my way
Yeah, that`s when it happened
The world caught fire that day
Chorus1:
C G
And she went down
D
Swingin`
C G
Yeah she went down
D
Swingin`
Verse2:
Well she was over 21
In trouble with the law
And it didn`t phase him none
She called her mother-in-law
She said I need a little money
I know I can count on you
After that night in Vegas
And the hell that we went through
Chorus2:
We went down
Swingin` (like Billy Goodman)
Yeah we went down
Swingin` (yes we did)
Verse3:
Went out on the interstate
She was `cross the Georgia line
Looked out the window feelin` great
Yeah it had to come in time
And she said I`m never goin` back
She said at last I`m free
I wish ma` could see me now
She`d be so proud of me
Chorus3:
Yeah she went down
Swingin` (like Greg Miller)
Yeah she went down
Swingin` (like Charlie Dorresey)
Yeah she went down
Swingin` (like Sunny Davis)
She went down
Swingin. (like sunny Liston)
then fade out
