My ship came in and she sunk it, G I was the toast of the town and she drunk it, D G I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground. D A D And now she?s putting on shows where I get to play the clown. I had the wind in my sails and she took it, I had the world by the tail and she shook it, I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose, I got the money for chicken she got to blow the goose. ( Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/delbert_mcclinton/livin_it_down_crd.html ) CHORUS G D She?s living it up and trying to live it down, E A Just when I got it all together it all about to come (unplanned)? G D G Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound D A D She?s out there living it up and I?m trying to live it down I had my ducks in a row and she shot them I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang Sometimes you get her honey sometimes all you get is her sting CHORUS She?s living it up and trying to live it down, Just when I got it all together it all about to come unplanned Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound She?s out there living it up and trying to live it down She?s living it up and I intend to live it down
