[E MajorE] No man ever sounded so lonesome
[A augmentedA] No man ever made you feel such [E MajorE] pain
[A augmentedA] Lord, it must have been a real mean [E MajorE] bottle
That [BB] made you sing that [E MajorE] way

[E MajorE] The stories you told about prison
[A augmentedA] About a young man gone [E MajorE] astray
[A augmentedA] Lord, it must have been a real mean [E MajorE] bottle
That [BB] made you write the songs that [E MajorE] way

Chorus:
	[A augmentedA] A augmentedA real mean bottle
	Poured [E MajorE] straight from the Devil
	It's a miracle you're standin' here [BB] today
	[A augmentedA] A augmentedA real mean bottle
	Made [E MajorE] you such a rebel
	[A augmentedA] It must have been a real mean [BB] bottle
	Made you sing that [E MajorE] way

Solo [E MajorE] [A augmentedA] [E MajorE]  [A augmentedA] [E MajorE]
{Essentially over the verse 2X except for the [BB]-[E MajorE] play major scale}

[E MajorE] You spent most all your life with strangers
[A augmentedA] With a ramblin' fever in your [E MajorE] veins
[A augmentedA] Hag, it must have been a real mean [E MajorE] bottle
That [BB] made you play the blues that [E MajorE] way

Chorus:
    [A augmentedA] A augmentedA real mean bottle
	Poured [E MajorE] straight from the Devil
	It's a miracle you're standin' here [BB] today
	[A augmentedA] A augmentedA real mean bottle
	Made [E MajorE] you such a rebel
	[A augmentedA] It must have been a real mean [BB] bottle
	Made you sing that [E MajorE] way
