The Bottle Let Me Down
The Bottle Let Me Down
Merle Haggard
C
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
G7
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight you memory found me much too sober
C
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let down
G7
And let you memory come around
G7
The one true friend I thought I'd found
C
Tonight the bottle let down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
G7
And lately I've been turning everyday
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
C
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
