Down On Our Own Shield / Jakob Dylan
Album: Country + Women (2010)
--------------------------------------
Intro: F Dm (x2)
F
It's a struggle, it's a shame
Dm
It's all give and no take
C Bb5
Whatever, it is now, it's right up to our waist
F Dm
It's a pity, it's a shame to see it all slip away
C Bb5
I've seen you worried babe, but never this way
F C
We hold our ground, we don't kneel
Dm Dm(maj7) Bbmaj7
If we go down we go
Bb5 F
Down on our own shield
F
It's a river of tears
Dm
And we're in over our ears
C Bb5
In the dark it rides off with our better years
F
It's a bottomless well
Dm
It's a little overkill
C
It's the end of a dragon's tail
Bb5
That's whipping round our heels
F C
But we don't bow, we make no deals
Dm Dm(maj7) Bbmaj7
If we go down we go
Bb5 F
Down on our own shield
Dm F
In this corner ladies and gentlemen
C G7
Weighing in, all along my love for her is strong
Bb5 F Bb5
We scaled pillars to here tonight
C
It's not the kind of trick you get to pull twice
F
It's an ambush girl
Dm
A cold-blooded low down dirty world
C
See them yellow lanters walk
Bb5
A circle around our bit of earth
F
It's a turn for the worse
Dm
It's off with their heads if they don't learn
C
We do this over their dead bodies
Bb5
Before it's over mine or yours
F C
We don't beg for mercy dear
Dm Dm(maj7) Bbmaj7
If we go down we go
Bb5 F
Down on our own shield
Dm Dm(maj7) Bbmaj7
Down we go
Bb5
Down on our own shield

I am a songwriter (or at least like to call myself one) and this is one of the most
heart breakingly poignant songs I have heard in a long time.
Note - the Dm(maj7)-Bmaj7 run during the chorus is just my attempt to include the bass
line run in an acoustic accompaniment. When researching the names for these chords the
chord that I have labeled as Dm(maj7) was also marked as D m7 (which didn't jive with my
understanding of theory and chord building) and as an F6 (which it is, just inverted).
