INTRO: D  A  B  A  E  B

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

               E           B
That's why I'm down on the bottom
          D                       A                B
Where the Moccasin's King and the big tall cypress grow
          E                                 B
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some peace of mind
             A   E          B       D  A  B  A  E  B
And get back up,  is on the bottom


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

CHORUS:

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

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