 Send "Cheer Down" Ringtone to your Cell Phone 

Here's my interpretation of "Cheer Down" by the Traveling Wilburys.
I've marked the parts where I'm not sure or clueless with question marks.
The rest is pretty correct.


Riff:
      D          Gm    A  D         Gm    A
                                          "I can see..."

Vers:
A     D
I can see by your grin
            C         Gm
That you're trembling within
     D        Gm          D
It's all over town, cheer down

And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place
Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down

Gm                  D
If your hair should fall
Gm                    D
If your shares should crash
Gm                     D             A
You'll get by even without getting a rash

There's no tears to be shed
I'm gonna love you instead
I want you around, cheer down

Gm A

Solo:
     D                  C           Gm       D            ?  Gm

When your teeth drop out
You'll get by even without taking a bite

If your dog should be dead
I'm gonna love you instead
The world loves a clown, cheer down
I want you around, cheer down

The ending riffs are somewhat similar to the intro riff, with
a little improvisation added.
