None of them
The Bottomless Hole by The Handsome Family Tabbed by MericanSoil Standard Tuning One could play this song by simply playing chords, but the walking bass line used in the recording really takes the song to the next level. In this transcription, I've attempted to SIMULATE that bass line by adding an additional chord between the primary chords – please note that I've put this chord in parentheses for those who don't wish to play it. For those who do, the emphasis should be on the low B note on the A string. To achieve the EXACT sound heard in the recording would require a full tablature transcription of the song…which could be done relatively easily by using the below chords as a guideline. Regardless, this walk-down/walk-up chord is noted below as “A2.” A2 = Am add9 = 0-1-0-0-2-0 (e-B-G-D-A-E) Am (A2) C G Am My name I don’t remember though I hail from Ohio Am (A2) C F C ( A2) I had a wife and children, good tires on my car F C (A2) Am What took me from my home and put me in the earth F E Am Was the mouth of the deep dark hole I found behind my barn Am (A2) C G Am We’d been filling it with garbage as long as you could count Am (A2) C F C ( A2) Kitchen scraps and dead cows, tractors broken down F C (A2) Am But never did I hear one thing hit the ground F E Am And slowly I came to fear, that this was a bottomless hole Am (A2) C G Am I went out behind the barn and stared down in that hole Am (A2) C F C ( A2) Late into the evening, my mind would not let go F C (A2) Am So I got out my ropes and a rusty claw foot tub F E Am And I rigged myself a chariot to ride down in that hole Am (A2) C G Am My wife she did help me, she fed me down the ropes Am (A2) C F C ( A2) And then I sank away from the surface of this world F C (A2) Am When the last rope pulled tight, I had not reached the end F E Am And in anger I swung there down in that dark abyss Am (A2) C G Am So I got out my knife, I told my wife goodbye Am (A2) C F C ( A2) I cut loose from the ropes and fell on down that hole F C (A2) Am And still I am there falling down in this evil pit F E Am But until I hit the bottom I won’t believe it’s bottomless Outro: Am F E Am
