Broken Down taby ukulele według Slaid Cleaves (Chwyty barytonu)

C
Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold,

A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold,
F                 G
Along came a boy, pretty as the devil,
    C        Em              Am
She took his hand, the whole thing unravelled,
F                  G
There's no turnin' round, 
           C
It's broke down.
 C
Billy took the ring, jammed it in his pocket,

Drove down town and tried to hock it,
F                      G
Down at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain,
          C               Em             Am
There's a love not carved inside a wedding ring.

F           G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C       Em             Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
F           G
Broke down, torn and frayed,
C             Em             Am
Ain't nothin' left you could give away,
F                  G
There's no turnin' round, 
           C 
It's broke down.

F               G
Ain't no tellin where love goes,
C     Em             Am
Maybe down where the black river flows,
F                    G
Won't be comin' back round, 
           C
It's broke down.

C
Baby in the back seat, and another on the way,

Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day,
 F                             G
Spends her nights waiting for real life to start,
C                 Em            Am
Listening to the sound of her double crossed heart.

F             G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
C            Em                  Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
 F           G
There's no turnin' round,
 C
It's broke down.

 C
On the other side of town, two lovers lie still,

Cigarette smokin' on a window sill,
 F                    G
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase,
 C               Em                  Am
Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face.

 F            G
Broke down, cracked and shattered,
 C            Em           Am
Left in pieces like it never even mattered,
 F           G
Broke down, torn and frayed,
C              Em              Am
Ain't nothin' left you could give away,
 F                 G
There's no turnin' round,
 C
It's broke down.

Broke down.
