Great Big Sea - When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down) [No Capo]
From "Play" (1997)
Tab By: Barry O'Brien
I am the [F]fountain of af[C]fection
I'm the [F]instrument of [Am]joy
to [F]keep the good time [C]rolling
I'm the [F]boy, I'm the [G]boy
You know the [F]world could be our [C]oyster
If you [F]put your trust in [Am]me
We'll [F]keep the good times [C]rolling
Wait and [F]see, wait and [G]see
Wait and [Am]see
There's exaltations, [G]sweet disintegrations
A [F]few discolorations then it [G]comes along
[Am]Up is why he chooses, the [G]kisses and the bruises
There ain't [F]nothing he refuses then it [Am]comes along
It comes a[F]long and I am [C]lifted
It comes a[F]long and I am [C]lifted
I am [F]lifted, I am [G]lifted
CHORUS:
When I'm [F]up I can't get [C]down
Can't get [F]down can't get [G]level
When I'm [F]Up I can't get [C]down
Get my [F]feet back on the [G]ground
CHORUS (x2)
He just [Am]needs something to bind him, [G]something to wind him up
It [F]won't take long to find him when it [G]comes on strong
[Am]Black skies a grinning, [G]street lights are spinning
The [F]night is just beginning, when it [Am]comes on strong
It comes on [F]strong, and I am [G]lifted
It comes on [F]strong, and I am [G]lifted
I am [F]lifted, I am [G]lifted
CHORUS (x2)
Oh it comes on [F]strong, and I am [C]lifted
It comes on [F]strong, and I am [C]lifted
I am [F]lifted, I am [G]lifted!
CHORUS (x2)
Oh I can't get down,
Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhh
I can't get down
