Bottom Of The Ladder chords by Vikesh Kapoor

• Capo on 4th

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G                                C
I’m at the bottom rung of the ladder
G                                  D
Baby how could I keep climbing on up
        G                      C          G
Here I stand with a lightning rod in my hand
                 D             G
But the light strikes at the top

Chorus:
Em                  C
Well the days are dark
Em                 C
Like the peeling bark
Em           D      G
Of a dyig hemlock tree
Em                       D
Where the moon sets the sunrise forever
G                   C
I’ll be forced to climb
G             D                G
Or else the same I’ll forever be

Verse 2:
G                         C          G
One day I’ll dive right over the Rhine
                                       D
no longer could I lie or keep from cryin'
 G                    C
out loud I’ll run, like a donkey does in the sun
 G                          D              G
alone, not two, apart from you, wild an’ gone

Chorus:
Em                  C
Well the days are dark
Em                 C
Like the peeling bark
Em           D      G
Of a dyig hemlock tree
Em                       D
Where the moon sets the sunrise forever
G                   C
I’ll be forced to climb
G             D                G
Or else the same I’ll forever be

Verse 3:
G                                C
I’m at the bottom rung of the ladder
G                                  D
Baby how could I keep climbing on up
        G                      C          G
Here I stand with a lightning rod in my hand
                 D             G
But the light strikes at the top
