David Allan Coe — Bottle in my hand

1st Verse: 
 G                                          C  
Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey 
            G                     D7       G C G  
And I know Friday night he'll do it all again 
          G              C           G              C        G  
And he'll drink 'til he falls down and he’ll order one more round 
      C         G                 D7       G C G  
and then go home with that bottle in his hand 
 
CHORUS: 
              G        C             G            C        G  
and the only thing I can hold onto is this bottle in my hand 
                     C         G                   D7  
I know I'll never have to share it with any other man 
         G           C      G                  C       G  
I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can 
  C       G                 D7         G  C  G  
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand 
 
2nd Verse: 
 G                                             C            G  
She told George that changing diapers could sure become a drag 
                                                            D7  
and to clean the house and cook for him was not her kind of bag 
      G                                  C              G  
she said he needed someone who would love and understand 
      C          G                    D7      G C G  
and then she left him with that bottle in his hand 
 
(repeat the chorus and upon outro) 
 C               G                  D7         C G  
Yes we'll be thankful for this bottle in our hand
