Tumbling Down
Steve Harley

Verse 1:
A augmentedA       C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m     E MajorE      D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vultures
  A augmentedA  C# minorC#m     F# minorF#m   E MajorE       D MajorD         A augmentedA    E MajorE
Now me I regard it a tortuous hardship that smoulders
    F# minorF#m    D MajorD       E MajorE
Like a peppermint eaten away
    F# minorF#m      D MajorD     E MajorE
Will I fight, will I swagger or sway?
A augmentedA      C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m     E MajorE    D MajorD         A augmentedA    E MajorE
Hee hee, mi-lady, she cries like a baby to scold us
         A augmentedA  C#C#  F# minorF#m  E MajorE      D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
See her tumbling down         Tumbling down

Verse 2:
A augmentedA      C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m     E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Hail to the monkey, we're having us a funky reunion
A augmentedA     C# minorC#m     F# minorF#m    E MajorE     D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Wasted and sunk, he can only have Sunday communion
     F# minorF#m   D MajorD       E MajorE
He's got nicotine stains in his eyes
     F# minorF#m    D MajorD        E MajorE
(He's got) nothing to protect but his pride
A augmentedA      C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m     E MajorE      D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Smother the kiss or be drownded in blissful confusion
        A augmentedA  C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m   E MajorE      D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
See it tumbling down         Tumbling down

Verse 3:
A augmentedA    C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m   E MajorE     D MajorD       A augmentedA    E MajorE
Juvenile tale, see the Titanic sail into Brighton
  A augmentedA     C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m    E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
The Hemingway staccato, the tragic bravado can frighten.
   F# minorF#m D MajorD           D MajorD
To be here there and everywhere’s fine
      F# minorF#m      D MajorD       E MajorE
But do you have to be so swift all the time?
 A augmentedA     C# minorC#m     F# minorF#m     E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Deliver the dawn to the Moulin Rouge on the horizon
         A augmentedA  C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m  E MajorE        D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Watch it tumbling down           Tumbling down (Repeat)

Verse 4:
A augmentedA C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m        E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
Oh dear, look what they’ve done to the blues, blues, blues
A augmentedA C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m        E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
Oh dear, look what they’ve done to the blues, blues, blues
A augmentedA C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m        E MajorE      D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
