[Verse]
Am (A2) C E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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 E 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]

Third chord of the chorus, isn't it E instead of G?
