Cant Keep A Good Man Down

Biography:

Alabama is a country music band from Fort Payne, Alabama that was started in 1969 but did not get a recording contract until 1977. Alabama began by singing for tips around Myrtle Beach before going on to sell millions of records. They were among the first successful country groups since the mid-1970s, thanks to their blend of contemporary and traditional country and southern rock. On July 4-93 they opened a $7-million, 2,200-seat theater, located in Barefoot Landing-Myrtle Beach South Carolina.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

This is a great sing-along-song and because I could not find it anywhere
at all on the internet, I decided to learn the song and make this tab
myself. This is my first tab.

The song is in standard tuning.

I thought it was forever
G
I thought it would last

Gotta try to make it
G
A page of my past
C
You didn't even say goodbye
C G
When you slammed that door

G
Now I'm lyin' here alone
G
In what once was our bed
G
Trying to forget
G
All the cruel words you said
C
All the radio was playing
C G
What once was our favorite song

Em A7
Oh enough is enough I won't take anymore
C D7
I'm picking myself up off the floor

Cause you can't keep a good man down

You can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oh no you can't keep a good man down
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
The strumming rhythm for the chorus might be tricky at first

*Lick*

G
Gonna dress up in my finest
G
Clothes that I own
G
And take it to the streets
G
I won't be lonely for long
C
Gonna put on my best moves
C G
On every single woman I see

G
Now you thought you could break me
G
Add me to your list
G
Notch me on your gun
G
Let me tell you this
C
I've got news for you baby
C G
I don't break that easily

*Lick*

G
I'll be out there on the scene
G
Hangin' with my friends
G
This world's gonna see
G
Me smilin' again
C
I'm taking some time
C G
To erase you from my memory

G
Don't write any letters
G
Don't call me on the phone
G
Don't knock on my door
G
Cause to you I'm not at home
C
I know there's a woman out there
C G
For a man like me

Cause you can't keep a good man down

*Chorus again*

That should be it.
