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]
