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]

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!

on G of Riff 1]
