tearin' it up and burn it down 
words and music by:kent blazy,kim williams and garth brooks

intro: there really is no intro except for the bass and drums 

when playing this song accoustically i usually play around with 
e,a,g,e,a e, g , e, a , end on e then go to verse


E5                                  G A
we all came here for a party tonight 
E5                                              G G#
and your gonna get left if you dont get right now 
A
so forget your troubles and forget the news 
G                                             A
were gonna pull the plug and black those blues
             B
and if your ties to tight then adjust the noose
                                N.C.
cause if your gonna hang tight cut loose

             A  D        G         E
tearing it up and a burning it down 
A                        
hey daddies hide your daughters 
B
till that sun comes back around 
        E
cause we all came here for a party 
G
we came to get unwound 
A                               C
so go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
                 E  D   G          E
just tear'in it up and burn it down


(like to repeat what i do for the intro here)

we love to hear you stomp and sing 
this swampy little eastwestern swing thing
so lets grab on to each another aint letting go
make a little midnight , moonlight mojo
and when the magic happens, let it all hang out
and if you wanna jump up and shout 

repeat chorus 

instrumental e,g,a,e,d,e,g,a,b  


CHORUS


E
WE KNOW YOU LIKE TO PARTY
G
WE KNOW YOU LIKE TO COME UNWOUND
A                          C
SO GO TELL EVERYBODY TO SPREAD THE WORD AROUND 
                     E D     G           E
AND KEEP TEARIN IT UP AND BURNING IT DOWN
