Merle Haggard - Tonight the bottle let me down

^FEach night I leave the barroom when it's over Not feeling any pain at closing time ^{C C}But tonight you memory found me much to sober Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind ^F

^FTonight the bottle let me down and let you memory come around ^{C C}The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonight the bottle let me down ^F

^FI've always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I've been turning everyday ^{C C}But the wine don't take effect the way it used to And I'm hurting in an old familiar way ^F

^FTonight the bottle let down and let you memory come around ^{C C}The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonight the bottle let down ^{F C}Tonight the bottle let down ^F
