Intro: (G)//// (Em)//// (G)//// (Em)//// 

There''s a (G) stone, in yonder (Em) graveyard 
With my (G) name carved in it (G7) deep 
It don''t (C) tell, my life (G) story 
These (C) things, it can''t (G) repeat 

I never had a (Em) family 
I (G) never took a (G7) wife 
All I (C) had, was a (G) bottle 
And I (C) drank away my (G) life 

Chorus: 
So (Em) bury the bottle with me 
For (G) it''s what tore me (G7) down 
So (C) I won''t be a-(G)-lone tonight 
When they (C) put me in the (G) ground 
When they (C) lower my body (G) down 

A drunker, is a (Em) sinner 
On (G) this, I place no (G7) doubt 
Oh the (C) Lord, won''t share his (G) palace 
With the (C) things he lives with-(G)-out 

For the bottle is the (Em) devil 
And (G) drinking is his (G7) name 
Now the (C) bottle, is what (G) took my soul 
And (C) petrified my (G) brain 

Repeat Chorus
