Bottomless Hole

Am                C               G        Am 
My name I don't remember though I hail from Ohio 
Am                 C       F                C  
I had a wife and children, good tires on my car 
F                                            C          Am 
What took me from my home and put me in the earth 
F                                       E              Am 
Was the mouth of the deep dark hole I found behind my barn 

Am                          C                G         Am 
We'd been filling it with garbage as long as you could count 
Am                 C            F             C       
Kitchen scraps and dead cows, tractors broken down 
F                                        C          Am 
But never did I hear one thing hit the ground 
F                                 E                    Am 
And slowly I came to fear, that this was a bottomless hole 

Am                    C                   G        Am 
I went out behind the barn and stared down in that hole 
Am              C        F                   C  
Late into the evening, my mind would not let go 
F                                            C          Am 
So I got out my ropes and a rusty claw foot tub 
F                                 E                Am 
And I rigged myself a chariot to ride down in that hole 

Am                   C              G        Am 
My wife she did help me, she fed me down the ropes 
Am              C                F            C       
And then I sank away from the surface of this world 
F                                                       C          Am 
When the last rope pulled tight, I had not reached the end 
F                               E              Am 
And in anger I swung there down in that dark abyss 

Am                C               G        Am 
So I got out my knife, I told my wife goodbye 
Am                    C        F                 C  
I cut loose from the ropes and fell on down that hole 
F                                               C          Am 
And still I am there falling down in this evil pit 
F                                    E              Am 
But until I hit the bottom I won't believe it's bottomless 

Outro:  Am  F  E  Am
