 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]
