Am  D  Am  D 

[Verse 1]
        Am   D         Am                Dm
Keep it down,  if it's still hangin' around
      Am  D           Am            D
Kept away,  well it's lost inside a day
       A7                  A
On the journey through the street
       D                  Dm   G
To the corner you have to meet
A     G          E                     F   G   A
Keep keepin' it down, if it's hangin' around

[Verse 2]
       Am   D            Am              D
In the dawn,  when the last drop it has gone
        Am    D           Am                 D
Summer leaves,  from the hill where my love grieves
       A7              A
In the sun where you met her
        D               Dm     G
In the shade where you left her
A     G          E                     F   G   A
Keep keepin' it down, if it's hangin' around

[Instrumental]
Am  Am  A  A  Am  D  G  D 

[Chorus]
              D
You've got to keep it down
    Am                       Am
And never let it go to the top
 D                    D
'Cause you know that if it does
    F                         F     F           E
The roundabout is never gonna stop, never gonna stop

[Verse 3]
       Am    D           Am                    D
In the night,  there's a space replaces your face
         Am   D         Am               D
That you lent,  I don't know just how it went
           A7                    A7
Though the trains have passed it by
          D                    D
It still sits up, sits in your sky
A     G          E                     F   G   A
Keep keepin' it down, if it's hangin' around
Am                 Am              F               G     Am  F G Am
Yeah . . . Keep it down    keep it down    keep it down ...
