Bottle Take Effect
By Jim Reeves
 
G                D7              G           C
Well I'm sitting here a glass so near filled with my one concern
                 G                  A7          D7
Oh bottle you've done led me to the point of no return
G         D7           G       C
You took away my happy days my life's a total wreck
                  G                 D7          G
You took the only things I owned so bottle take effect
 
C                               G
Take effect and take away these blues that drive me wild
C                                G              D7
Take effect make me forget these troubles for a while
G                 D7       G                     C
Then just lead me to those lights of blue on the corner of regret
                     G                D7          G
In some barroom I'll lose my gloom so bottle take effect
 
         D7      G               C
You took away my fortune while I drank away my pride
             G                         A7               D7
Humiliations my misfortune and there's no place left to hide
G           D7        G            C
The best place is the gutter there I won't need respect
                             G                   D7          G
Cause when in Rome you'll do as the Romans do oh bottle take effect
 
Repeat #2

To me, this song seems a little out of character for Jim Reeves, but it's really a nice song to play and sing. It takes a little practice but it won't take long for you to learn it, just copy Bottle Take Effect lyrics and chords and enjoy.
