Down in the bottom of your my - stery

VERSE2 (same music as first)
Saw your old lady in the park today
the legendary smile is wearing thin
behind that guessing game you make her play
Ab Cm F7 Eb Fm
now that she knows that she could never win
I guess you're never gonna take her down
down to the bottom of your little black heart
lay with her naked on the cold, hard ground
to watch the sun rise from the dopest part
CHORUS:
Down in the bottom where your lifeline shows
Down 'in the bottom where nobody goes
BRIDGE
Fm/Bb(vi)
did you lose your way? did you find another?
Fm/Bb(vi)*
did you make a play? did you run for cover?
Fm/Bb(viii) Fm(ix) Eb(viii)
is it safe to say you got bu - urned today?
SOLO (over the verse then chorus chords)
VERSE3
I like the feathers and I love the hat
I like that little gypsy tune your humming
I guess i'm happy now we had this chat
Ab Cm F7 Eb Fm
oh yeah, i'm really glad i saw you coming
There in the corner of the eastern sky
the tortured angel of your rising sign
darkens the evening wioth his one good eye
an evil omen of the dopest kind
LAST CHORUS
Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Down in the bottom where your demons fly
Down in the bottom of the eastern sky
Down in the bottom where your lifeline shows
Down 'in the bottom where nobody, nobody goes
Down in the bottom of your mystery
Ab Cm F7 Eb Fm
Down in the bottom of the wine dark sea
