Drop 2 steps to play with the song

Play the 'Down down down down' with a walking bass line mainly with the E 
and A strings. Play the Am , and play (002210, 302210, 102210, 002210), using 
your little finger and then thumb to play the walking bass line. Play it 
with all the Am in the tune too. You can kind of slap the bass strings and 
it sounds cool. Play with it, you'll get it.

Am
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out

Am
You don't have to sit around, complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Think of all the time you waste, and time's a precious thing to let go by
Dm                              F                                   Am
Sure you've hit the bottom but remember you'll be building from the ground up
Dm                            F                            E7
Ev'ry day's another step that takes you even closer to the sky, so give a try


Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out

You don't have to sit around
Depressed about the way that luck deceived you
Fortune sailed away, you missed that boat
And found that you'd been left behind
Fight and fight some more
Until you know the world is ready to receive you
Lady luck's a fickle bird
But a lady is allowed to change her mind

You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try, so give it a try

We are marching up, up, up and out
