[Verse 1]
D Am
Well, she was standing by the highway
G D
In her boots and silver spurs
D Am
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
G D
When a Cadillac stopped for her
[Verse 2]
D Am
And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you,
G D
Are you goin' my way?"
D Am
Yeah, that's when it happened
G D
The world caught fire that day
[Chorus]
C G D
And she went down - swingin'
C G D
Yeah, she went down - swingin'
[Verse 3]
D Am
Well, she was over twenty-one
G D
In trouble with the law
D Am
And it didn't faze her none
G D
She called her mother-in-law
[Verse 4]
D Am
And said I need a little money
G D
I knew I could count on you
D Am
After that night in Vegas
G D
And the hell that we went through
[Chorus]
C G D
We went down - swingin' - like Benny Goodman
C G D
Yeah, we went down - swingin'
[Solo]
| D | Am | G | D |
| D | Am | G | D |
[Verse 5]
D Am
Moonlight on the interstate
G D
She was 'cross the Georgia line
D Am
Looked out the window feeling great
G D
Yeah, it had to come in time
[Verse 6]
D Am
And she said I'm never goin' back
G D
She said at last I'm free
D Am
I wish ma could see me now,
G D
She'd be so proud of me
[Chorus]
C G D
She went down - swingin' - like Glenn Miller
C G D
Yeah, she went down - swingin' - like Tommy Dorsey
C G D
Yeah, she went down - swingin' - like Sammy Davis
C G D
She went down - swingin' - like Sonny Liston
