The Bottle Let Me Down

7 7 7 7 -8 7 -4 5 6 6 6
Each night I leave the bar-room when it’s ov-er
7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 5 -4
Not feel-ing an-y pain at clos-ing time
6 -7 -7 -6 -7 -8 -7 6 6 -4 -4 -3
But to-night your mem-‘ry found me much too so-ber
-7 -7 -7 -6 -7 -6 6 -4 -3 -3 4
Could-n’t drink e-nough to keep you off my mind

7 7 7 7 6 -4 4 5
To-night the bot-tle let me down
7 7 7 7 6 5 6 6
And let your mem-‘ry come a-round
-7 -7 -8 -7 6 6 -4 -3
The one true friend I thought I found
-7 -7 -6 -6 6 -3 -3 4
To-night the bot-tle let me down

7 7 7 7 -8 7 -4 5 6 6 6
I’ve al-ways had a bot-tle I could turn to
7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 5 -4
And lat-ly I’ve been turn-in’ ev-ery day
6 -7 -7 -6 -7 -8 -7 6 6 -4 -4 -3
But the wine don’t take ef-fect the way it use to
-7 -7 -6 -7 -6 6 -4 -3 -3 4
I’m hurt-in’ in an old fa-mi-lar way

7 7 7 7 6 -4 4 5
To-night the bot-tle let me down
7 7 7 7 6 5 6 6
And let your mem-‘ry come a-round
-7 -7 -8 -7 6 6 -4 -3
The one true friend I thought I found
-7 -7 -6 -6 6 -3 -3 4
To-night the bot-tle let me down

-7 -7 -6 -6 6 -3 -3 4
To-night the bot-tle let me down
