Broke Down

D G A D G A D G A Billy gave Sherry a band of gold, D G A Rougher than a bible belt road. G A Along come a boy, pretty as the devil, D Dmaj9/F# Bm She took his hand, and it all unraveled, G A D G A There ain't no turnin' round, it's broke down. D G A Billy took the ring, put it down in his pocket, D G A Went down town and tried to hock it, G A And somewhere at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain, D Dmaj9/F# Bm There's a love note carved in a wedding ring. G A Broke down, cracked and shattered, D Dmaj9/F# Bm Left in pieces like it never even mattered, G A There ain't no turnin' round, D G A It's broke down. G A Ain't no tellin' where love goes, D Dmaj9/F# Bm Maybe down where the black river flows, G A Ain't comin' back around, D G A It's broke down. D G A Now there's baby in the back seat, and another on the way, D G A Sherry calls him Billy but that's not his name. G A She lies awake at night to the sound of her own heart, D Dmaj9/F# Bm The bedding is cold, but her blood runs hot. G A Broke down, cracked and shattered, D Dmaj9/F# Bm Left in pieces like it never even mattered. G A There ain't no turnin' round, D G A It's broke down. G A D Dmaj9/F# Bm G A D G A D G A D G A On the other side of town two lovers lie still, D G A Cigarette smokin' on a window sill. G A There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase, D Dmaj9/F# Bm N.C. Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face. G A Broke down, cracked and shattered, D Dmaj9/F# Bm Left in pieces like it never even mattered. G A Broke down, torn and frayed, D Dmaj9/F# Bm Ain't nothin' left you could give away. G A There ain't no turnin' round, D G A It's broke down, D G A It's broke down, D G A D It's broke down,
