_ _ Down in the boom box, _ _ _ [D] down in the boom box, _ _ _ [E] people moving out from [D] that _ house [A] all year. _ _
_ _ I love her, she loves me, but I don't fit in her society.
_ _ [E] Lord have mercy on [D] the poor from down in [A] the blue box. _ _
_ _ _ Every night I watch the light from the house up on the hill.
_ I love a little girl [D] that lives up there and [Db] I guess I'm [Gbm] always real.
_ [D] But I don't care, [E] knock on her door, [D] cause _ _ _ [E]
I can't [D] be _ _ _ [E] _
_ content [D] to see her whenever [E] I can.
_ [A] Down in the boom box, _ _ _ [D] down in the boom box, _ _ _ [E] people moving out [D] from that house all _ _ [A] year. _
_ _ _ I love her, _ she loves me, but I don't fit in her _ society.
_ [E] Lord have mercy [D] _
_ _ [A] on the poor from down _

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ in the blue box.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ One fine day I'll find a way [Eb] to move from this old [Bb]
shack.
_ I'll hold my head [Eb]
up to feet [D] and I never, never will [Gm] look back.
_ _ [Eb] Until that morning [F] I'll work it safe [Eb] and I'll save [F] every man.
_ [Eb] But tonight she'll [F] teach me the way, [Eb] to see me one [F] more _ time.
[Bb] Down in the boom box, _ _ _ down [Eb] in the boom box, _ _ _ people [F] moving out [Eb] from that house _ [G] all year.
