Meat Puppets is an American rock band formed in January 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. The group's original lineup was Curt Kirkwood (guitar/vocals), his brother Cris Kirkwood (bass guitar), and Derrick Bostrom (drums). The Kirkwood brothers met Bostrom while attending Brophy Prep High School in Phoenix. The three then moved to Tempe, Arizona (a Phoenix suburb and home to Arizona State University) where the Kirkwood brothers purchased two adjacent homes, one of which had a shed in the back where they regularly practiced.

Back to swinging open from the yard Still the boys carrying the swords
D#F Chasing cats and rabbits in, bushes and the garbage bins D#F Chasing cats and rabbits in the yard
[Chorus] DmF Down, don’t bring me down
CBb Don’t let me be here on my knees
DmF The waterfall of colors
CBb The waterfall of colors
(intro chords) Black time needs another code of pain Turn some on driveway, let it race
D#F Washing off the color and turn up the other things D#F Washing out another code of paint
[Chorus] Down, don’t bring me down Don’t leave me here, down on my knees The waterfall of colors The waterfall of colors
solo Dm, C, Bb (x4)
Running off the fire jelly board Come back when you cannot hang around Take your little bastard sword Go and hit the running board Tell your mama fire jelly board
[Chorus] x 2 Down, don’t bring me down Don’t leave me here, down on my knees The waterfall of colors The waterfall of colors.
