Tonight the bottle let down
Merle Haggard
D
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
A7
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight you memory found me much to sober
D
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
(Chorus)
D
Tonight the bottle let down
A7
and let you memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
D
Tonight the bottle let down
D
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
A7
And lately I've been turning everyday
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
D
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
(Repeat Chorus)
A7 D
Tonight the bottle let down
