Artist: Cheap Trick
Title: Downed
Author: Rick Nielsen
Album: In Color/Budokan II/The Complete Budokan Concert
(Rick Nielsen)
tab by Chris Clark (chris@drclueful.com)
I always thought this song could be The Great Lost Single from the Who's
"Quadrophenia," but the live version on "The Complete Budokan Concert"
channels Neil Young as well (imagine a Crazy Horse version of "The Needle
and the Damage Done"). Yet another twisted Rick Nielsen power-pop manifesto
about sex, drugs and suicide. Sounds great on 12-string, too! PS the
complete lyrics to "Downed" and other fine selections from the Cheap Trick
catalog can be found at the band's official web site (www.cheaptrick.com).

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 CHEAP TRICK 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.
