NOTES: Obviously any old Down Together transcription will cut it,
but heres one based on Brent's performance, custom lyrics
and all. :)
All verses are palm muted as per the Refreshments version.
All is pretty much the same as the Refreshments version,
with the exception of the way the bridge is played, and
the 8 (or so) bars of E going into the verses.

E5 - F#5 - A5 - B5 x 4
VERSE 1:
E5 F#5 A5
We could write our names here in the mud
B5
No one's around to see them
E5 F#5 A5
We could hang our shoes here in a tree
B5
No one's around to steal them
E5 F#5 A
I could give you a star, you could give me one too
B5
And that way we'd be even
E5 F#5 A
I could sing you a song way out of tune
B
And not care a bit about it
E - F# - A - B
E
VERSE 2:
E5 F#5
We could all wear cowboys hats
A5 B5
And pretend that we were (? someone)
E5 F#5 A5 B5
I could eat some gum and make my breath so minty fresh to kiss you
E5 F#5
You breath smells like wine
A5
I like that a lot
B5
Especially when I kiss you
E5 F#5 A5
I could hit my funny bone real hard
B5
And you could call me sweetheart
PRE-CHORUS:
C#5 A5 E5 B5
Whoever said there's nothing new under the sun
A5 B5
Never thought that much about the individual
But he's dead anyway
CHROUS:

Let's go down together
B5
Down together
E5 F#5
Let's go down together
A5 B5
Down together, down together
E5 F#5
Let's go down together
A5 B5
Down together, back to Matt's place
E5 F#5
Let's go down together
A5 B5
Down together, down together
Let's go
BRIDGE:
E - F# - A - B
Spoken: Hey satanic cannibals, do you like sharpened two by fours?
E - F# - A - B
E
VERSE 3:
E5 F#5
We could all wear sewn up clothes
A5 B5
And pretend that we were in the Regulars
E5 F#5
We could drive a long long way
A5 B5
Just to bring a can of gas to make it make
E5 F#5 A5
We could chase our shadows around the lawn
B5
Until we're both exhaused
E5 F#5 A5
I forget the words to Roger's song
B5
But so does he, so forget about it
PRE-CHORUS:
C#5 A5 E5 B5
Whoever said there's nothing new under the sun
A5 B5
Never thought that much about...good ol' Rog
CODA:

A B
And what's bad for you is bad for me
E C#m
And what's good for you is good for me
A B
And what's bad for you is bad for me
A (A)
Well cars break down and people break down
(A)
And other things break down too
CHORUS:
