[Verse 1]
[G]Rock bot[Em]tom, I g[G]ot [Em]em,
[G]I g[Em]ot th[G]e rock b[Em]otto[G]m blues.
Rock [C]bottom, yep I got em,
I got [G]the rock bottom [Em]blues.[G]
[Em]I do[D]n't know how I caught em,
[Am]I'd be better [C]off without em,
it's the [G]blues [F]that I would [G]never choose.
[D]I knew a boy[G] named Timmy,
he was so forlorn
He had the rock -a -bottom blues
since the day he was born
Fell out of the crib and cracked his head
The [Gm]very [Bb]first words that little Timmy said
[G]Rock -a -bot[Em]tom, rock [G]-a -bottom
[Em]I got [G]the rock[Em] -a -b[G]ottom blues
Rock [Em]-a -bottom, [C]rock -a -bottom
I got [G]the rock -a -bottom blues
I [D]don't know how I caught him
I'd be [Am]better [C]off without him
It's the [G]blues I'd really love [Eb]to lose
[D]He told me tro[G]uble
was the only thing he'd ever had had
He got a lot of luck, but it all been bad
He took the house, he took the job
He lost the wife, she kept the kids
Hit rock [Bb]bot tom, hit the road,
hit the skids [G]high[C][G][F][G]
[F][Dm][D][G]
[C]And then one [G]day he got to thinking,
what have I got to lose,
[Em]except this taste of the
[G]So when the carnival came in a town,
he went to watch Kamikaze Kitty
and the hoochie -coochie -toot.
[D]She [Em]shimmied and she wiggled
and she giffed in [G]the eye[Em].
She says, after [G]the show,
[Em]why don'[G]t you drop[Em]
[G]on by?[Em]
[G]And that was the beginning
of the big romance
in which Kami[Em]kaze [G]Kitty
[Em]taught [G]Timmy [Em]to dance.
She [G]showed him every move
that she ever had to learn
And when they cut a rug together,
man, the dance floor burned
The [Em]samba and the rumba
and [G]the limbo, [Em]too
[G]The [Em]mambo [G]and [Em]the zumba
[G]and [Em]the boo[G]ga [Em]loo
Well, they [G]bopped [Edim]downtown,
[Em]boogied [G]up the alley
[Em]They [G]got a little house
[Em]way up [G]in [Em]the [G]valley
[Em]A -r[G]ockin' and a -[Em]rollin',
[G]they were hoppin' and
a -twitchin'
They were waltzing in the parlor,
they were twisting in the kitchen
[D]The [Em]day [C]that Timmy got
his [Em]fancy dancing shoes
He [G]knew he'd never have to [A]worry
[C]about the rock [Bb]bot tom blues
[G]Rock bottom, oh I forgot them
I dropped the rock bottom blues
Rock [C]bottom, oh I forgot them
I dropped [G]the rock bottom blues
I [Dm]don't know how I caught him,
but [C]I'm better [Edim]off without
[C]him, it's the [G]blues
I'm really [C]happy, [Gdim]but you'[Eb]ll los[G]e[F][G]
Rock bottom blues
