Going Down
by Freddie King
tabbed by: Poekicker
email: poekicker@gmail
Tuning: Standard
The song is a 12 bar blues in D. The pattern is essentially:
I I I I
IV IV I I
V V I I
with a small twist. Any bar that comes before a I (the D chord) is descending 4 chord
pattern of D C G F. In this case, it is the 2nd bar, the 6th bard and the 10th bar. The
intro is just the 1st 8 bars.

I got my big feet in the window, and my head down on the ground
(Same chord progression)
Let me down, and close that box car door

Well, I'm goin' back to Chattanooga, and sleep on sister Irene's door

Yes, I'm going down, I'm going down down, down, down

Yes, I got my feet in the window, I got my head on the ground
