The Bottle Let Me Down
Merle Haggard

DD Piano Chord 

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
A7A7 Piano Chord 

Not feeling any pain at closing time
A7A7 Piano Chord 

But tonight you memory found me much to sober
DD Piano Chord 

Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

CHORUS:
DD Piano Chord 

Tonight the bottle let down
A7A7 Piano Chord 

and let you memory come around
A7A7 Piano Chord 

The one true friend I thought I'd found
DD Piano Chord 

Tonight the bottle let down

I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turning everyday
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way

CHORUS

Tonight the bottle let down
