Bottle in my Hand George Jones & David Allen Coe Capo 3rd 1st Verse:

^CLast week he spent his whole paycheck on ^Fwhiskey And I know ^CFriday night he'll d^G7o it all ag^Cain^F ^C And he'll^C drink 'til h^Fe falls do^Cwn and he’ll^F order one more^C round and t^Fhen go h^Come with that bo^G7ttle in his h^Cand^F ^C

CHORUS:

and the only ^Cthing I^F can hold on^Cto is this ^Fbottle in my ^Chand I know I'll never ha^Fve to sh^Care it with any other ^G7man I'm so g^Clad you in^Ftrodu^Cced us and I'll d^Fo the best I c^Can T^Fo be f^Caithful to this ^G7bottle in my h^Cand^F ^C

2nd Verse:

^CShe told George that changing diapers could ^Fsure become a ^Cdrag and to clean the house and cook for him was not her kind of^G7 bag she s^Caid he needed someone who would l^Fove and underst^Cand and t^Fhen she l^Ceft him with that b^G7ottle in his h^Cand^F ^C

(repeat the chorus and upon outro)

^FYes we'll be t^Chankful for this ^G7bottle in our ha^Fnd ^C

(For the second verse, there’s a key change. The easy way to accomplish this is to move the capo up to the 5th fret. This version IS correct! Play along with George and Allen and see!)
