I've been down like a [F#] [F#] sparrow on the [E] ground.
I've been lost,
[F#] driven at [E] one floor.
I've [A] been hurt.
I've been [D] weeping sad [E] and lonely for [F#] some loving [E] arms to hold me.
I've been down, but [A] not that low.
My home, my happy low, [E] make my bed under the willow.
[A] No more coat on no [E] shoulder, the nights [F#m] are long, getting colder.
[A] I've been down, I've been down.
Tell your kin you have dinner, but so [E] does he who pours on the center.
[F#m] You have fame and you have money enough to buy you [D] sugar and honey.
Lay your money [A] down, lay your money down.
I've been down like [D] a sparrow on [A] the ground.
I've [E] been lost, [Am]
[F#] driven [F#m] at one floor.
I've been hurt.
[A]
I've [F#m] been weeping sad [A] and lonely for [D] some loving arms [A] to hold me.
I've [E] been down, but not [A] that low.
[F#]
[Am]
Too big now, but [A] it's flatter.
My skirt's [E] too long, it's worn and tattered.
I ain't [A] got no fine clothes for Sunday, and I [D] look just as poor on Monday.
Oh, I've [A] been down, I've been [E] down.
[F#]
You have everything folks [A] desire, or you have [E] anyone you want for hire.
So [A] you think I will wear a red gown if [D] you lay your money down,
lay your [A] money down, lay your [C#m] money down.
[A] I've been down [F#] like a sparrow on the [A] ground.
[E] I've been lost, [Bm]
driven [F#] at one floor.
I've been hurt.
I've been weeping sad [A] and lonely for [F#] some loving arms [A] to hold me.
I've [E] been down, I've been [Bm] down.
Oh, [E]
but [Am] not that low.
