C G D G
[Verse]
G
Here's the story of a man and his family
D G
And a b ig trip that they to ok
Well, I heard all about in a restaurant
A D
And I r ead it in a history bo ok
C G
They r ented a car at the E rie Canal
C
But the car didn't have no br ake
G
Said Ma to Pa "My G od this car"
D G
"Is gonna f all into the Bottomless L ake"
[Instrumental]
C G D G
G
Well, Mama turned to Daddy with a pale face
D G
Said "I've d one something horribly wr ong"
"Well, the waters still runnin' in the bathtub"
A D
And I th ink I left the kitchen light on"
C G
Then I he ard a crash the c ar when splash
C
And the compass rolled around and ar ound
G
Oh, for Heaven's Sake! We f ell in a lake
D G
And I th ink we're all gonna dr own
[Chorus]
D
We are fa lling down
G
Down to the bottom of a h ole in the ground
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
C G
I' m so scared I can ha rdly breathe
D G
I may n ever see my sweatheart ag ain
C G D G
Play once after first verse
[Instrumental]
C G D G
G
There was plenty of food in the backseat
D G
And the wi ndows were rolled up ti ght
So we all nibbled on a chicken leg
A D
Told st ories 'way thru' the n ight
C G
We ll, Pa told one that he t old before
C
And the baby got a bellya che
G
Said Ma to Pa "My G od this car"
D G
"Falling d own a Bottomless L ake" (Repeat Chorus)
G
Poppa played the music on the radio
D G
M ama rocked the baby to sl eep
He said he would've taken the other road
A D
But he di dn't think the lake was that d eep
C G
Well, if the f erry been there at the end of the pier
C
We'd be half way to Uncle Ja ke's
G
Instead of looking at fish out the w indow I wish
D G
We'd hit the bo ttom of the Bottomless L ake
C G
'Stead of lo oking at fish out the wi ndow I wish
D G
We'd hit the b ottom of the Bottomless L ake (Repeat Chorus)
G
So if you're ever goin' on a big trip
D G
Ya be tter be careful out th ere
Start everything on you good foot
A D
And wear clean u nderwear
C G
T ake along a Bible in the ba ckseat

Read of David and Solo mon
G
For if you make a mistake in the Bottomless L ake
D G
You may ne ver see your sweetheart ag ain
C G
If you sh ould make a mistake in the Bot tomless Lake
D G
You may ne ver see your sweetheart a gain
C G
If you sh ould make a mistake in the Bot tomless Lake
D G
You may n ever see your sweetheart ag ain
