Am                           C
I watched the water rise in our house
Am                           C  
the rain poured in and washed out our stuff
Dm                           Am
my father drank from beer bottles
Am
then he'd say


C              Am        C               Am
we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
F           Am          Dm                      Am
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down


Am                           C
all that we had was deep in the mud
Am                           C
our photographs and family treasures
Dm                           Am
my mother drank from beer bottles
Am
then she'd say


C              Am        C               Am
we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
F           Am          Dm                      Am
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down


Am                       C                           Am
don't let it bring you down (and let your head drop down)
Am                       C                            Am
don't let the sun go down (and let your light go out)
Am                       C          
don't let yourself fall down
Am                     Dm                            F
just pick yourself up from the street and get up on your feet


C              Am        C               Am
walk on, walk on, what's done, is done
F           Am          Dm                      Am
walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
Dm                      Am
never let this world drag you down
