Keith Whitley – Bitch At The Bottom (Guitar)

E
I was pourin' out my troubles

      A
To a stranger in a bar

         E
Of the problems and the pressures

     B
On a country music star

E
Half braggin', half complainin'

          A
'Bout the money and the fame

     E
And just how lonely lot can be

            B               E
When you've made yourself a name

E        A
I said, "Would you like a drink?"

           E
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double

E
I worked up a powerful thirst

                            B
Just listenin' to all your troubles"

     A
"And while he makes that drink

     E
I'll smoke one if you got it

E
It might be lonely at the top

           B             E
But it's a bitch at the bottom"

E
I left a hundred on the table

      A
And didn't wait around for change

       E
But my load a little lighter

       B
And my thinkin' rearranged

     E
That stranger made me realize

    A
How thankful I should be

  E
And if I forget, I hope those words

 B                 E
He said come back to me

E        A
I said, "Would you like a drink?"

           E
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double

E
I worked up a powerful thirst

                            B
Just listenin' to all your troubles"

     A
"And while he makes that drink

     E
I'll smoke one if you got it

E
It might be lonely at the top

           B             E
But it's a bitch at the bottom"
