Somebody told me that the time was right

To keep on ridin' and to hang on tight

I heard the cry of a dog in the night

But nobody told me it would be all right

G            A       D
Don't let it get you down
    G      A      D
But nobody make a sound
G            A       Bm  A/B  Bm  E
Don't let it get you down


We took a ride down a hill that night

The man was crazy but he wouldn't fight

With bullets in his back and money in a sack

We robbed a bank and we never looked back

G            A       D
Don't let it get you down
    G      A      D
But nobody make a sound
G            A       Bm  A/B  Bm
Don't let it get you down

G                           C                      D
  We took the bank, kept on runnin', but never too slow
G                          C                   D
  The ride was fun and you know we went to Mexico
        G                    C
But the action that felt all right
      Bm7              B7
Still haunts me in the night

E    C D  C D    E    C D  C D

G                           C                      D
  We took the bank, kept on runnin', but never too slow

        G                    C
But the action that felt all right
      Bm7              B7
Still haunts me in the night, all right

A            B       E
Don't let it get you down
       A      B      E
'Cause nobody made a sound
A            B       E
Don't let it get you down
           A              B    E
They'll be lucky if we're ever found

A            B       E
Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down)
A            B       E
Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down)
A            B       E
Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down)
A            B       E
Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down) ...
