E
Somebody told me that the time was right
To keep on ridin' and to hang on tight
I heard the cry of a dog in the night
But nobody told me it would be all right

Chorus:
 G            A       D
Don't let it get you down
     G      A      D
But nobody make a sound
 G            A       Bm   A   Bm  E
Don't let it get you down

We took a ride down a hill that night
The man was crazy but he wouldn't fight
With bullets in his back and money in a sack
We robbed a bank and we never looked back

Chorus:
 G            A       D
Don't let it get you down
     G      A      D
But nobody make a sound
 G            A       Bm   A   Bm
Don't let it get you down

G                          C
We took the bank, kept on runnin', but never
      D
too slow
G                          C                  D
The ride was fun and you know we went to Mexico
        G                      C
But the action that felt all right
       Bm7              B7
Still haunts me in the night

We took the bank, kept on runnin',
but never too slow
The ride was fun and you know we went to Mexico
But the action that felt all right
Still haunts me in the night, alright

A             B       E
Don't let it get you down
        A      B      E
'Cause nobody made a sound
 A            B       E
Don't let it get you down
            A             B     E
They'll be lucky if we're ever found

A             B       E
Don't let it get you down
(Don't let it get you down)
A             B       E
Don't let it get you down
(Don't let it get you down)
A             B       E
Don't let it get you down
(Don't let it get you down)
A             B       E
Don't let it get you down
(Don't let it get you down)
