[Intro]
G
Down on Ivey's Wall
C G
Down on Ivey’s Wall
G
Down on Ivey's Wall
G
Life was just as simple as God planned it
C G C

[Verse 1]
G C
Stella poured a cup of coffee, said, "I'll take this on the road
Am D G
See ya later Ivey, your supper’s on the stove
C
I'm goin' uptown, don't you be out all night
Em C D G C
Say hello to Andy for me and leave the kitchen light on."

[Verse 2]
G C
Now Ivey was a little man who left a giant trail
Am7 D
With a pocket full of change for the kids the world had failed
G C
He lived by pride and principle, he was a blue collar man
Em Dm C D
He'd take the shirt right off his back and give it to a friend

[Chorus]
C G D G
And down on Ivey's Wall
C G D G
Down on Ivey's Wall
C G D Em
Down on Ivey's Wall
C D G
Life was just as simple as God planned it
G D G C
And if it wasn’t, then Ivey would demand it

[Verse 3]
G
And I still hear him say
C
"You men who hold the power, you mostly live in fear
Am7 D
I guess that’s why you say exactly what we want to hear
G C
Or maybe you're just puppets, just victims of the game
Em
But it’s won these men with their hungry kids
C D
And they don't feel much like playin'."

[Chorus]
