The Bottom
Performed by Charlie Robison
Written by Waylon Payne
There's alot of chord walkup/walkdown that Charlie does in this song and I
can't quite put all of them in the tab. Just listen to the song a few times and
you'll get it. He also plays alternating bass strings then strums the rest of
the chords most of the time.
[D]Elevator operator
[D]Look at me and smile a weary s[A]mile
[G]You know my face could easily decieve
The wisest of them [A]all
[D]Are you going to the penthouse
Or the [D]condo that lies just b[B7]eyond the chapel [E]doors
[G]He just smiled and softly told m[A]e no
I'm goin[D]g to the bottom
Chorus:
I'm going [D]all the way d[B7]own
To the bo[E]ttom
So turn the m[G]usic up real high
And let the s[A]weetest benedictine liquor f[D]low
[B7]No need to worry about to[E]morrow
Cause you're not here
[G]I'm going all the way d[A]own
To [D]the bottom
[D]Rainy streets, Wet memory
[D]Find a place inside to pass the [A]time
The d[G]oug serves up my brandy and I drink
And pray your picture f[A]ades
[D]You dressed in black
[D]You turned your back
On the only heart that [B7]ever loved you [E]so
[G]The bells rang on the day you d[A]ied
I'm headin[D] to the bottom
Chorus
