D                        D#dim        Em 
Just like my mamma said, Ray there's a way

you might stumble, you could fumble

when you're down low don't feel under 
         G   Am7          G    Am7 
then the thunder and the lightening 
          G      Am7              G     C 
aren't so frightening when you're coked out 
       Am7 Em        Am7 Em 
The big city aint so pretty 
            Am7 Em         Am7 Em 
when you're down and nitty gritty

when you're down and nitty gritty
