Capo 1 D Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold, A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold, G A Along came a boy, pretty as the devil, D A Bm She took his hand, the whole thing unravelled, G A There's no turnin' round, D It's broke down. D Billy took the ring, jammed it in his pocket, Drove down town and tried to hock it, G A Down at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain, D A Bm There's a love not carved inside a wedding ring. G A Broke down, cracked and shattered, D A Bm Left in pieces like it never even mattered, G A Broke down, torn and frayed, D A Bm Ain't nothin' left you could give away, G A There's no turnin' round, D It's broke down. G Ain't no tellin’ where love goes, A D Maybe down where the black river flows, G A Won't be comin' back round, D It's broke down. D Baby in the back seat, another on the way, Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day, G A She spends her nights waiting for real life to start, D A Bm Listening to the sound of her double crossed heart. G A Broke down, cracked and shattered, D A Bm Left in pieces like it never even mattered, G A There's no turnin' round, D It's broke down. D On the other side of town, two lovers lie still, Cigarette smokin' on a window sill, G A There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase, D A Bm Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face. G A Broke down, cracked and shattered, D A Bm Left in pieces like it never even mattered, G A Broke down, torn and frayed, D A Bm Ain't nothin' left you could give away, G A There's no turnin' round, D It's broke down. D Broke down.
