Roger Miller - All Fall Down Chords

C
When I was a little country boy I had a dream

    F                           G7
Our family wasn't poor but rich instead

  C
I took to the road instead of stayin' home to help

         F                                G7
And that dream just withered up inside my head


         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                                     G7
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                    G7              C
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down



When I was a strong young man I fell in love with Sue

  F                            G7
I wanted her to be my wife someday

      C
But I just couldn't bring myself to say Sue I love you

         F                                      G7
And that dream just fell to the ground and blew away


         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                                     G7
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                    G7              C
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down



When I reached my middle age I hungered for success

    F                            G7
And things like fancy limousines and such

         C
About as close as I came to that fancy limousine

      F                                G7
Was a thirty thousand dollar greyhound bus


         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                                     G7
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                    G7              C
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down


       
When I reached my golden years I often had a dream

     F                        G7
That I'd be respected by society

    C
But here I am on skid row with a bottle in my hand

    F                                 G7
And free advice to give to fools like me


         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                                     G7
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                    G7               C    G7
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down


         C             F
All fall down all fall down

         C                    G7               C
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
