We are fallin' down, Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground, Smoke 'em if ya got 'em. I'm so scared I can hardly breathe, I might never see my sweetheart again. If anyone can help me with this one, or point me toward any other good songs of Greg's, I would be most appreciative! Nikki |

I haven't heard a recording of this song for years...my dad had it on a tape of a tape and I guess my youthful ears somehow mixed up Greg's mellifluous bass with John's picturesque, piquant tenor. Oh well. I've got a lot to learn. Thanks again for the lyrics and chords! |
