Verse 1:
C E/B Am C/G
Bell Bottom Blues, you made me cry
F G F C G [Riff 1]
I don’t wanna lose this feeling
C E/B Am C/G
If I could choose a place to die
F G
It would be in your arms
Chorus:
A E/G# F#m D E
Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you
A E/G# F#m
Do you wanna hear me beg you to take me back
D E
I’d gladly do it, because
A Amaj7/C# A7 D E
(I don’t want to fade away) Give me one more day, please
A Amaj7/C# A7 D E
(I don’t want to fade away) In your heart I wanna stay
F C G [Riff 1]
Verse 2:
It’s all wrong, but it’s all right
The way that you treat me, baby …mmmm
Once I was strong, but I lost the fight
You won’t find a better loser
[repeat chorus]
[guitar solo over verse chords]
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
Bell Bottom Blues, don’t say goodbye
We’re surely gonna meet again
And if we do, dontcha be surprised
If you find me with another lover …oh!
[repeat chorus, repeating last two lines two extra times; end cold
On G of Riff 1]
— another ace 70’s tab from Andrew Rogers
