The Bottom Has A Basement

Alternative ending of verse 1: 

Taking airplanes from the saudis 
          D            G 
Yeah that surely not a bribe

Intro

       G 
When I opened up my telephone 
    C/G                  G 
The headlines weren't so great 

Spending lives to save a dollar 
         D 
And then asking God for change 
        G 
Cutting funding from the institutions 
C/G        G 
Keeping us alive 

And a birthdays not a party 
    D               G 
Not until the tanks arrive 
 

 
        D 
And the smallest man alive is whining 
G 
Wishing he was big 
       C/G 
If you thought we hit the bottom 
         D 
Get your shovel and let's dig 
          G 
Cause the bottom has a basement 
       C/G             G 
And in case you didn't know 

That basement has a cellar 
      D 
And a lotta floors below 
          Em7 
There's a dungeon buried under 
        C/G           G 
But how deep god only knows 

Every day we scrape the bottom 
      D                G 
Every day we reach new lows 
 

 
         G 
Then two businessmen go walking 
       C/G           G 
On the Gaza Strip at night 

And they come upon child starving 
D 
Holding up a sign 
          G 
When they read it 

They both see that it says 
C/G         G 
 Free Palestine 

And they say that's quite a price 
              D                G 
But since you offered now it's mine!

I was high outside a Sturgill show 
    C/G            G 
And pretty down on life 

I was waiting in the beer line 
            D 
Thats when I met Jesus Christ 
       G 
He was three sheets to the wind 
            C/G            G 
You know it nearly blew my mind 

I said dear god cant you help us 
        D         G 
He said I already tried
