Chords with lyrics
"Are You Down" by Lucinda Williams
From the album "Essence" (2001)
Written by Lucinda Williams
Tabbed by CJWilky
I'm not sure of the G6G6 and Gadd9Gadd9 - they're at least close, and a little interchanged hither and thither.
The outro is more than what I have here, but it works as a base.
This song can be played with just A minorAm and G, and to make it really easy, with the chords like this throughout:
A minorAm G+G
Can't put the rain back in the sky
A minorAm G+G
Once it falls down, please don't cry
Comments and suggestions very welcome.
Standard tuning
