Verse 1: Eb Hey there, Father Eb I don’t wanna bother you Eb But I’ve got a sin to confess Eb I’m just 16 if you know what I mean Eb Do you mind if I take off my dress? F Don’t know where to start F Let me get to the good parts F Might wanna cross up your legs Eb I’ve got envy, I’ve got greed, anything that you need Eb And I’m not above having to beg B Gb Bbm Ebm There was this boy who tore my heart in two B Gb Bb Eb I had to lay him eight feet underground Chorus: Eb Db Ab B All I need is someone to save me Eb Db Ab B Cause I am goin’ down Eb Db Ab B And what I need is someone to save me Eb Db B Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down Verse 2: Eb Well, hey there, Father# Eb There is just one other thing Eb I have a simple request Eb I hear you know God could you give him a nod in my direction Eb I would be in your debt F Perhaps there is something that we could work out F I noticed your breathing is starting to change Eb We could go in the back behind all these stacks of bibles Eb And get out of this cage B Gb Bbm Ebm There was this boy who tore my heart in two B Gb Bb Eb I had to lay him eight feet underground Chorus: Eb Db Ab B All I need is someone to save me Eb Db Ab B Cause I am goin’ down Eb Db Ab B And what I need is someone to save me Eb Db B Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down Abm I didn’t wanna do it, Father Eb But I caught him with another woman in the bed I made him Eb So I put him in a grave Abm And now there’s no one left around to get me off Eb When I want it to drag Abm The next day on the television they identified him Eb By the circumsicion that I made and now I’m on the run Gm But wait, why did I have to go and kill him Gm Cm When he was the best I’d ever had Chorus: Eb Db Ab B All I need is someone to save me Eb Db Ab B Cause I am goin’ down Eb Db Ab B And what I need is someone to save me Eb Db B Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down Eb I’m goin’ down Eb All the way down This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Goin’ Down on ukulele
To play Goin’ Down on ukulele, strum the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 120 bpm with a light swing. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 restores the key you see here. Hit hard downstrokes and let the blues groove swing a little.
