Tony Joe White - Ain't Going Down This Time Ukulele

Intro: Bm

Bm                        G – A           Bm 
I 've  been  layin'  low  -  livin'  in  the  shadows
            Em7                                       Bm                
Spendin'  time  alone  -  conversations  with  the  wall

Hangin'  on 
G          A          Bm
I'm  just  tryin'  to  matter
            Em7   G                         A             Bm
And  I  remain,  tryin'  to  make  some  sense  of  it  all


G                   A                                     Bm
I 've  been  here   before,  I'm  familiar  with  the  pain
G                            A                             F#
But  I  ain't  runnin'  no  more,  there's  one  thing  changed            (-stop-)
                           Bm
Ain't  goin'  down  this  time,
G              A           Bm
This  time  I  ain't  goin' down

Like  an  undertow  -  I  feel  the  promis  of  the  nighttime
But   I've  been  down  that  road  -  and  my search  came  to  an  end
I  hit  the  motherload
Enough  blues  for  a  lifetime
Now  I'm  digging  deep  inside,  tryin'  to  find  my  way  back  again

You  know  you've  entered  the  danger  zone
When  you  look  in  the  eyes  and  there's  no  one home       
Ain't  goin'  down  this  time
This  time I  ain't  goin'  down


Bm-G-A-Bm   Em7-Bm   G-A-Bm  Em7-G-A-Bm

Deep  in  the  night  -  I  miss  a  woman's  touch
The  fire  burns  strong  -  and  I'm  drawn  to the  flame   
But  I  pay  the  price
When  I   get  caught  up  in  the  heartbeat
And   passion  flows  -  un-res-trained

No  one   left  to   blame  -  I'm  faced  with  the  truth
And  it's  all  too  plain  -  when  there's  nothing  left  to  lose         
Ain't  goin'  down  this  time
This  time I  ain't  goin' down
