G
She was gone
Long gone this morning
     C
She left a note
          G
Said I’m out of here
                     C
Adios my dear and that was all she wrote
         G
I tried Hank but the Hank wasn’t tough enough
           C
Couldn’t twang the pain with the Flatts and Scruffs
        F
Had to keep on drinking
                 C
Keep on sinking down, down, down, down
Down to the good stuff

Chorus:
                G
Til I hit rock bottom
F                C
And I cranked it up
            G                 F
I hit that water back with a Marshall stack
       C
And a kick, kick, kick drum kicking my butt
 G                         F
Got a Cali chick checking out this hick
  C
Spinning that back in black
                 D
I hit rock bottom
                       G    F     C
Started bouncing back Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
                       G    F     C
Started bouncing back Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh

She's flying high tonight
Just across town
There's a lone hillbilly playing stardust willy
Wasn't even getting off the ground
Tried to hang with the hang but I had to stop
Got shot with the Jay Cash needle drop
Couldn't walk the line

So I just kept shining down, down
Down, down, down to the juke box

Chorus:
'Til I hit rock bottom, and I cranked it up
I hit that water back with a monster stack
And a kick, kick, kick drum kicking my butt
Got a Cali chick, checking out this hit
Spitting out Back In Black
I hit rock bottom
Started bouncing back

'Til I hit rock bottom, and I cranked it up
I hit that water back with a monster stack
And a kick, kick, kick drum kicking my butt
Got a Cali chick, checking out this hit
Spitting out Back In Black
I hit rock bottom
Started bouncing back
Started bouncing back
