The Bottom

Charlie Robison

Composed by: Waylon Payne
key: C#m Tuning: E A D G B E
D
Elevator operator
D              D#dim          E
Look at me and smile a weary smile
G
You know my face could easily decieve
                   A
The wisest of them all
D
Are you going to the penthouse
       D                      D#dim       E
Or the condo that lies just beyond the chapel doors
G                               A
He just smiled and softly told me no
        D
I'm going to the bottom

[Chorus]
          D            B7
I'm going all the way down 
         E
To the bottom
             G
So turn the music up real high
             A                           D
And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow
B7                       E
No need to worry about tomorrow
                  
Cause you're not here
G                      A
I'm going all the way down
   D
To the bottom

D
Rainy streets, Wet memory
D                      D#dim    E
Find a place inside to pass the time
     G                              
The doug serves up my brandy and I drink
                       A
And pray your picture fades
D
You dressed in black
D
You turned your back
                                D#dim  E
On the only heart that ever loved you so
G                              A
The bells rang on the day you died
          D
I'm headin to the bottom

[Chorus]
          D            B7
I'm going all the way down 
         E
To the bottom
             G
So turn the music up real high
             A                           D
And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow
B7                       E
No need to worry about tomorrow
                  
Cause you're not here
G                      A
I'm going all the way down
   D
To the bottom

[Outro]
         G            A
I'm going all the way down
         G            A
I'm going all the way down
         G            A
I'm going all the way down
              D
To the bottom
