Merle Haggard The Bottle Let Me Down
D MajorD
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
A augmentedA
Not feeling any pain at closing time
A augmentedA
But tonight you memory found me much to sober
D MajorD
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
CHORUS:
D MajorD
Tonight the bottle let me down
A augmentedA
and let you memory come around
A augmentedA
The one true friend I thought I'd found
D MajorD
Tonight the bottle let me down
D MajorD
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
A augmentedA
And lately I've been turning everyday
A augmentedA
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
D MajorD
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
CHORUS:
D MajorD
Tonight the bottle let down
A augmentedA
and let you memory come around
A augmentedA
The one true friend I thought I'd found
D MajorD
Tonight the bottle let down
A augmentedA D MajorD
Tonight the bottle let down
