Intro: G D C (2x)

          G                                    C
Shook my head out of dreams reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
    G                                         D
But I've got no notion of moving from where I am


           G                               C
Though my legs won't move I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf an article labelled
 G                                             D
Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found

     C
I'm down
                   G
No one to hear me calling
     C
I'm down
                  G
No one to see me falling
     C   G
I'm down

        G                          C
Had my ways with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
G                             D
  But then again I didn't realize


            G                                              C
When you're used to one thing it's hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up well, she ain't your mother
G                                     D
  How do you cope with a thing like that

     C
I'm down
                  G
No one to hear me calling
    C
I'm down
                  G
No one to see me falling
     C    G
I'm down

  Bm
I always thought it was my dad who went to war
  C                          Em
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
     Bm
My pseudo brother Billy emigrated long ago
 C
Someone went thru'pain to have me
 D
Someone I should know

    G D C
I'm down
     G D C
I'm down

        G                                          C
To the folks who brought me up I'm not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me they thought it was shameful
G                                       D
  It hurtS me so to be the last one to know
       G                                  C
Maybe someone's out there looking for me
Left on their own couldn't afford to clothe me
G                                   D
  And I? I don't even know my real name

     C
I'm down
                   G
No one to hear me calling
     C
I'm down
                  G
No one to see me falling
     C   G
I'm down
     C   G
I'm down
     C   G
I'm down
