[G]
Said I'll pour a cup of coffee, said I'll take this [C] on the road
See you later Ivy,
[G] your supper's on the stove
I'm going uptown, [C] don't you be out all night
[G] Say hello at the [Em] ambulatory, [C] leave [G] the kitchen light on
Down on [D] [G] Ivy's wall, down [D] on [G] Ivy's wall, down on [D] [Em] Ivy's wall
[C] Life was just [G] as simple [D] as [G] God made it
Ivy was a man, Ivy was a little man
[C] But he left a giant trail, a pocket full of change
For the kids the world [D] had failed
[G] He lived by pride and principle, he was a blue collar man
He'd take the shirt right off his back, and he'd give it to a [D] friend
[G] Down [D] on [G] Ivy's wall, down on Ivy's wall, down [D] on [G] Ivy's wall
Life was just as [D] simple as God [G] made it
Ivy was a man, Ivy was a little man
Then one morning Ivy silently slipped away
The [Em]
[C] boys down on the [D] wall, they were [G] quite that deep
[D]
[Am] Some men go down [G] telling stories
[C] How they rode their [D] trains to glory
[C] Other men just [D] close their eyes
And [G] know they did the [C] best they could with [G] what they had
[D]
[G]
[C] We go [G] down, we go down, we go down on Ivy's wall
Mmm, on Ivy's wall
[C]
Said I'll pour a cup of coffee, said I'll take this [C] on the road
