Bottom Of The Ladder

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 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 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 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 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
