Standard (EADGBE)

I watched the water rise in our house

the rain poured in and washed out our stuff

my father drank from beer bottles

then he'd say

we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done

walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down

all that we had was deep in the mud

our photographs and family treasures

my mother drank from beer bottles

then she'd say

we'll walk on, walk on, what's done, is done

walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down

don't let it bring you down (and let your head drop down)

don't let the sun go down (and let your light go out)

don't let yourself fall down

just pick yourself up from the street and get up on your feet

walk on, walk on, what's done, is done

walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down

never let this world drag you down
