Cant Keep A Good Man Down (CHORDS) by Crawdad Republic
[Intro]~
Em G C G
No you can't keep a good man down!
Em G C D
You can hold him underwater,, you may hope that he will drown!
Em G C G
You can bury him with circumstance and cloud his head with doubt,,
Em D G C G
but you can't keep a good man down!
[Verse 1]~
Em G C G
"I'm sorry son,," said the lawyer to the boy!
Em G C G
"Your folks weren't good at paying debts,, or saving coins!
Em G C G
It seems that all your parents left you was uncertainty and void!
Em D G C G
You've got a pulse,, you've got a choice!"
[Chorus]~
Em G C G
No you can't keep a good man down!
Em G C D
You can flood his deck with water,, sink his ship,, hope that he drown
Em G C G
You can bury him with circumstance and cloud his head with doubt,,
Em D G C G
but you can't keep a good man down!
[Verse 2]~
Em G C G
The house is gone,, repossessed on a Saturday!
Em G C G
And with it left all the childhood memories!
Em G C G
He drove his mother back and forth for years from work and to AA,,
Em D G C G
irony took her away!
[Chorus]~
Em G C G
No you can't keep a good man down!
Em G C D
You can fill his lungs with water,, you may be certain he will drown!
Em G C G
You can bury him with circumstance and cloud his head with doubt,,
Em D G C G
but you can't keep a good man down!
[Verse 3]~
Em G C G
He got the call at 607 June the 8th
Em G C G
and from the tone he'd known what'd happened right away!
Em G C G
"There's been an accident and I'm afraid neither of them are safe,,
Em D G C G
the alcohol must share the blame!"
[Chorus]~
Em G C G
No you can't keep a good man down!
Em G C D
You can deprive the air he breathes,, hold him under,, watch him drown!
Em G C G
You can bury him with circumstance and cloud his head with doubt,,
Em D G C G C G
but you can't keep a good man down!
Em G C G
