Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse]
Kennedy got it
in a Lincoln
Caesar got it
the back
Somebody told
me Hank Willia
ms died in his
Cadillac
Everybody's go
tta go sometim
e
Sooner or late
r they call yo
ur name
I don't know w
here yet, but
I'm willing to
bet that
I'm going down
in flames
[Chorus]
Down in flames
, Down in flam
es
When the good
times end and
they count my
sins
I'm going down
in flames
[Verse]
James Dean bou
ght it on the
highway
Marilyn found
it in a pill
Elvis died – o
r did he? – th
ey're looking
for him still
Some go soft a
nd quiet
Some go out wi
th a bang
Well it's way
too late for t
he pearly gate
s
I'm going down
in flames
[Chorus]
Down in flames
, Down in flam
es
When the good
times end and
they count my
sins
I'm going down
in flames
[Bridge 1]
Add up all my
misbehaving
And I'm past t
he point of sa
ving
How can wrong
feel so right?
Some things yo
u just can't c
hange…
What's it to y
ou? HALLELUJAH
!
I'm going down
in flames
[Solo]
[Bridge 2]
Add up all my
misbehaving
And I'm past t
he point of sa
ving
Even in this n
oisy barroom I
can hear that
long black tr
ain
I already boug
ht my ticket,
I'm going down
in flames
[Outro]
Down in flames
, Down in flam
es
I already boug
ht my ticket,
I'm going down
in flames
Down in flames
, Down in flam
es
When the good
times end and
they count my
sins
I'm going down
in flames
