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
