Broke Down Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

DSherry had a pawn shop band of gold,

A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold,

GAlong came a boy, Apretty as the devil,

 She Dtook his Ahand, the whole thiBmng unravelled,

GThere's no turnin' Around,

 It's broke Ddown.

DBilly took the ring, jammed it in his pocket,

Drove down town and tried to hock it,

GDown at the bottom of LaAke Ponchartrain,

 There's a lDove not cAarved inside a weBmdding ring.

GBroke down, Acracked and shattered,

DLeft in pAieces like itBm never even mattered,

GBroke down, Atorn and frayed,

DAin't nothin' leAft you couldBm give away,

GThere's no turnin' Around,

 It's broke Ddown.

GAin't no tellin’ where love goes,

AMaybe down where the Dblack river flows,

GWon't be comin' back Around,

 It's broke Ddown.

DBaby in the back seat, another on the way,

Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day,

GShe spends her nights waiting foAr real life to start,

DListening to the sAound of her doBmuble crossed heart.

GBroke down, cAracked and shattered,

DLeft in piAeces like it nBmever even mattered,

GThere's no turnin' rAound,

 It's broke Ddown.

DOn the other side of town, two lovers lie still,

Cigarette smokin' on a window sill,

 There's a pGicture locked up in an olAd suitcase,

 Billy cDloses his eAyes but he stiBmll sees her face.

GBroke down, cracAked and shattered,

DLeft in pAieces like it neBmver even mattered,

GBroke down, toArn and frayed,

 Ain't Dnothin' leAft you could givBme away,

GThere's no turnin' roAund,

 It's bDroke down.
