Down On The Bottom

CAPO 2

INTRO: D  A  B  A  E  B

B                   D            
I can't say looking back right 
       A                   B
now just where our love went wrong
        B                 A       
But the hard cold fact is she's 
             B
not here she's gone
B                 D              
Made me a promise she'd be true 
        A              B
till the rivers all ran dry
B                        A       
The rivers still runnin' but 
             B
she's long said goodbye

               E           B
That's why I'm down on the bottom
          D                       
Where the Moccasin's King and the 
A                B
big tall cypress grow

          E                        
Seems the only place that a country
         B
 boy can find some peace of mind
             A   E          B    
And get back up,  is on the 
   D  A  B  A  E  B
bottom


    B                    D        
Got friends in the world outside 
        A                    B
but none quite like ol' Cajun Joe
   B                            
He lives down a slough where the 
 A             B
river used to flow
B                D               
Worked real hard most of his life
          A               B
 till the pushin' came to shove
B                  A        
Gave it all he had but he just 
                 B
couldn't rise above

CHORUS:

                E           B
That's why he's down at the bottom
          D                       
Where the alligator swims and the 
A                   B
old grey moss hangs low
          E                        
Seems the only place that a country
         B
 boy can find some piece of mind
             A   E          B
And get back up,  is on the bottom

               A  E          
I can get back up  here on the 
  B
bottom
       A      E       B
On the Natchez  river bottom
