I'm Tore Down
by Sonny Thompson
Originally recorded in 1961 by Freddy King.
Clapton's version is in C with of course a lot of guitar parts. I play my simplified version on the ukulele in A.
I'm [A] tore down, I'm almost level with the ground. I'm [D7] tore down, I'm almost level with the [A] ground. Well, I [E7] feel like this when my [D7] baby can't be [A] found. [E7] I [A] went to the river [A] to jump in. My [A] baby showed up and said, [A7]"I will tell you when." Well, I'm [D7] tore down, I'm almost level with the [A] ground. Well, I [E7] feel like this when my [D7] baby can't be [A] found. [E7] I love you babe with all my heart and soul Love like mine will never grow old. Love you in the morning and in the evening too. Every time you leave me I get mad with you. I love you baby with all my might Love like mine is out of sight. I'll lie for you if you want me too. I really don't believe that your love is true. I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground. Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground. Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.
