This is a song that Garth performs live and will be out on his live album next 
year. You should hear the song before you try to play it it has a wierd rhythm 
to it but it is an awesome song to play.

Tearin' It Up And Burnin' It Down 
Garth Brooks LIVE 
 
E 
We all came here for a party tonite 
E 
Your gonna get left if ya don't get right now 
A 
So forget your troubles and forget the news 
E 
Were gonna pull the plug and blackout those blues 
C 
If your ties to tight then adjust the nuce 
A C 
Cause if your gonna hang tight cut loose 
 
 

[Refrão]
E     A C E 
Tearin' it up and burnin it down 
A C 
Hey daddy's hide your daughters til that sun comes back around 
E 
Cause we all came here to party 
C 
We came to come unwound 
A C 
So go tell everybody what's goin' on in town 
E                A C                       E 
We're tearin' it up and burnin' it down 
 
E 
We love to hear you stomp and sing 
E 
This swampy little eastwestern sweet thing 
A 
So lets grab onto each other and let go 
E 
Make a little midnight moonlight mojo 
C 
And when the magic happens let it all hang out 
A C E 
And ya wanna stand up and shout 
 
CHORUS 
 
E 
We know you like to party 
C 
We know you like to come unwound 
A C 
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town 
E A C       E 
To tear it up and burn it down
