The Bottom

	  		

A 
Elevator operator 
A                             E 
Look at me and smile a weary smile 
D 
You know my face could easily decieve 
                   E 
The wisest of them all 
A 
Are you going to the penthouse 
       A                     F#7              B 
Or the condo that lies just beyond the chapel doors 
D                               E 
He just smiled and softly told me no 
        A 
I'm going to the bottom 


          A            F#7 
I'm going all the way down  
         B 
To the bottom 
             D 
So turn the music up real high 
             E                           A 
And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow 
F#7                      B 
No need to worry about tomorrow 
                   
Cause you're not here 
D                      E 
I'm going all the way down 
   A 
To the bottom 
A 
Rainy streets, Wet memory 
A                               E 
Find a place inside to pass the time 
     D 
The doug serves up my brandy and I drink 
                       E 
And pray your picture fades 
A 
You dressed in black 
A 
You turned your back 
                       F#7            B 
On the only heart that ever loved you so 
D                              E 
The bells rang on the day you died 
          A 
I'm headin to the bottom
