Burnin' It Down
By Steve Earle
Tabbed By Larry Mofle
7/6/2014

Capo 2 across the bottom 5 strings (leaving the 6th string open)
This gives you a drop D sound with standard tuning



D
'Fore I was born, there were no limitations
D
Said my goodbyes at the greyhound station
G                          Em 
Here I am half a mile from where I grew up
     D
In a parking lot sittin' in my pickup truck


Chorus:
        D
And I'm thinkin' bout burnin' it down, boys
D
Thinkin' bout burnin' it down
G                          Em           D
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town…


Ten gallons of gas and a bottle of propane
I took the lighter off my grill and I still can't
Say for certain that this thing'll blow.
But if it does I'm gonna be the first one to know.


Chorus 2:
I'm thinkin' bout burnin' it down, boys
Thinkin' bout burnin' it down
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town
I'm thinkin' bout burnin' the Walmart down


Bridge:
       A                    G                 D
Always used to say I'd come back some day and settle down
     A                           G   D               A
I'm getting old. Got no place to go. It's all come unwound


So I'm watching' the faces comin' and goin'
Some of them strangers some that I know and
It doesn't matter how much, how long I wait
Cause the door's always open and it's never too late

Chorus
