Here's my interpretation of "Cheer Down" by the Traveling Wilburys.
I've marked the parts where I'm not sure or clueless with question marks.
The rest is pretty correct.


Riff:
      D          Gm    A  D         Gm    A
                                          "I can see..."

G|----------------7-----7------------7---------------------
D|-----------------8---7--------------8---7----------------

Vers:
A     D
I can see by your grin
            C         Gm
That you're trembling within
     D        Gm          D
It's all over town, cheer down

And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place
Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down

Gm                  D
If your hair should fall
Gm                    D
If your shares should crash
Gm                     D             A
You'll get by even without getting a rash

There's no tears to be shed
I'm gonna love you instead
I want you around, cheer down

Gm A

Solo:
     D                  C           Gm       D            ?  Gm

When your teeth drop out
You'll get by even without taking a bite

If your dog should be dead
I'm gonna love you instead
The world loves a clown, cheer down
I want you around, cheer down

The ending riffs are somewhat similar to the intro riff, with
a little improvisation added.
