G
Strike up the fiddle, tune your guitar
                                     C
It's one more song for a faded star
                     F               C       G
The night is waiting, the lights are burning low
C                 F C            G     C   F   G
Take it down easy,  take it down slow

[Verse]
G
You made it look easy when the going was tough
G
You sailed through the storm and you smoothed out the rough
     C               F               C       G
The scars of the road are all that's left to show
C                 F C            G     C   F   G
Take it down easy,  take it down slow

[Verse]
G
Rolling the dice, watching 'em spin
G
Every time you lose you've got to spin 'em again
C               F    C           G
Stay in the game and go with the flow
C                 F C            G     C   F   G
Take it down easy,  take it down slow

G
You could've done better and there's things you regret
G
You could have been a contender, you were worth the bet
     C                  F         C        G
It's not for the winning that you play the show
C                 F C            G     C   F   G
Take it down easy,  take it down slow

[Verse]
G
Running on dreams, you've got no time to stay
                                 C
Time rolls on and it slips away
               F        C       G
Nothing to do, no place left to go
C                 F C            G     C   F   G
Take it down easy,  take it down slow
