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.

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

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.
