[E]
[A]
My [B] name I [C] don't [G] remember, though [E] I hailed from [A] Ohio.
I had a wife [C] and children, [F] good tires [C] on my car.
[B] [F] What took me from my home and put me [C] in the [G]
earth
[A] [E] [F] was the mouth of the deep dark hole [E] I found behind [A] my barn.
We'd been [B] filling [C] it with [G] garbage [E]
as long as you [A] could count.
Kitchen [C] scraps and dead cows, [F] tractors [C] broken down.
[B] [F] But never did I hear one thing [C] hit the [B]
ground.
[A] [E] [F] And slowly I came to [E] fear [E] that this was a bottomless hole.
[A]
[E]
I [A] went [B] out behind [C] the [G] barn [E] and stared down [A] in that hole.
Laying [C] into the evening, [F] my mind would not let go.
So [F] I got out my ropes and [Em] rusty claw [C] foot [G]
tub.
[A] [E] And [F] I rigged myself a chariot [E] to ride [B] down in [A] that hole.
My [B] wife, she [C] did help [E] me, she fed me down [A] the ropes.
And then I [C] sank away from the [F] surface [C] of this world.
[Bm] With [F] the last rope pulled tight, I had [Em] not reached [C] the [B] end.
[A] [E] And [F] in anger I swung there [E] down in that [A] dark abyss.
So I got [G] out [C] my [G] knife, [E] I told my wife [A] goodbye.
I cut loose from [C] the ropes [F] and fell on down [C] that hole.
[F] And still I am there falling down in this [C] evil [G] pit.
[A] [E]
But [F] until I hit the bottom, I won't [E] believe it's [A] bottomless.
