I was lucky for a long, long time I never felt much pain
A mess of clouds came over me The night it finally rained.
In my hand there's a silver heart It says you belong to me
But it's empty and used up I'm sailing off to sea

Going down, going down Swallow an ocean
Going down, going down With true devotion
When the rain started coming down It was so hard to see
Swear I lost you in the crowd When you were right there with me
People scattering everywhere Trying to make it back home
And I slipped and fell on my ass I'm going down alone
Going down, going down Swallow an ocean
Going down, going down With true devotion
All I see is icy blue And I don't feel the waves
It doesn't matter anyhow I know I won't be saved
Before you go to sleep tonight Say a prayer for me, yeah
And all the other wasted souls Drowning definitely
Going down, going down Swallow an ocean
Going down, going down With true devotion
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BODEANS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
