Another great song from the pen of DAC. Yet another written for George Jones. hey performed this as a duet on his first greatest hits album. (For The Record) Tuning: Standard G 3 C 0 D 2 C/B 0 Dsus 3 Gsus 3 0 1 3 1 3 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 2 3 X 3 X 0 3 X X 3 X 3 (you may find it plesant to augment this with C/B Gsus and Dsus as passing chords but they are not integral to the song I provided sketches but they are not actually in the song)

^GLast week he spent his whole paycheck on ^Cwhiskey And I know ^GFriday night he'll d^Do it all ag^Gain Oh he'll ^Gdrink 'til he falls down and then ^Corder one more ^Ground and then go home with that ^Dbottle in his ^Ghand

CHORUS:

and the only ^Gthing I can hold onto is This ^CBottle In My ^GHand I know I'll never have to share it with any other ^Dman I'm so g^Glad you introduced us and I'll d^Co the best I ^Gcan To be faithful to this ^Dbottle in my h^Gand

(repeat the chorus and upon outro)

^GYes we'll be thankful for this ^Dbottle in our h^Gand
