Verse 2:

It's all wrong, but it's all right
The way that you treat me, baby   ...mmmm
Once I was strong, but I lost the fight
You won't find a better loser

[guitar solo over verse chords]

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

Bell Bottom Blues, don't say goodbye
We're surely gonna meet again
And if we do, dontcha be surprised
If you find me with another lover   ...oh!

[repeat chorus, repeating last two lines two extra times; end cold
on G of Riff 1]
