"All I Really Want to Do"

In "All I Really Want to Do," the lines "Drag you down or bring you down / Chain you down or bring you down" both generally descend (D D C# A B B A and D D C# A B G# A), musically giving a sense of those "down"s.  This feature is also present in Bob Dylan's original version, although Dylan sings "Drag you down or drain you down."
