The Bottom

Eb 
Elevator, operator 
                         Bb         F   F7 
Looks at me and smiles that weary smile 
             Ab 
I'm sure my looks could easily deceive 
                     Bb7 
The very wisest of them all 

And he says 
Eb 
"Are you goin' to the penthouse 
                              Bb7 
Or the condo that lies just beyond 
      F7 
The chapel door?" 
         Ab 
I smile back and softly tell him, "No 
Bb          Eb            Ab 
I'm headed to the bottom" 


Bb        Eb       C7 
I'm goin' all the way down 
F         F7 
To the bottom 
             Ab 
So turn the music up real high 
Bb                     Eb 
And let the sweetest Bénédictine liqueur flow 
C7 
No need to worry 
 F 
About tomorrow, 'cause you're not there 
          Ab      Bb 
I'm goin' all the way down 
Eb            Ab  Bb 
To the bottom 


Eb 
Rainy streets and wet memories 
                               Bb      F7 
Have found a place inside to pass the time 
          Ab 
And Pete serves up my whiskey cold 
                                      Bb   Bb7 
And I drink it, and pray the picture fades 
Eb 
Dressed in black, you turned your back 
                                  Bb    F 
And broke a heart that loved and loved you so 

Oh I loved you so 
            Ab 
The bells rang on the day we died 
Bb                   Eb             Ab 
And I headed straight to the bottom 


Bb        Eb       C7 
I'm goin' all the way down 
F         F7 
To the bottom 
             Ab 
So turn the music up real high 
Bb                     Eb 
And let the sweetest Bénédictine liqueur flow 
C7 
No need to worry 
 F 
About tomorrow, 'cause you're not there 
          Ab      Bb 
I'm goin' all the way down 
Eb            Ab  Bb 
To the bottom 

( Eb  Bb  F ) 
( Ab  Bb  Eb ) 


Bb        Eb       C7 
I'm goin' all the way down 
F         F7 
To the bottom 
             Ab 
So turn the music up real high 
Bb                     Eb 
And let the sweetest Bénédictine liqueur flow 
C7 
No need to worry 
 F7 
About tomorrow, 'cause you're not there 
          Ab      Bb 
I'm goin' all the way down 
Eb 
To the bottom 
          Ab      Bb 
I'm goin' all the way down 
          Ab      Bb 
I'm goin' all the way down 
          Ab      Bb 
I'm goin' all the way down 
Eb 
To the bottom
