Haggard Merle — The Bottle Let Me Down

A  
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over 
                                E7  
Not feeling any pain at closing time   
But tonight you memory found me much too sober 
                                         A  
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind 
     
Tonight the bottle let down 
                         E7  
And let you memory come around 
The one true friend I thought I'd found 
                       A  
Tonight the bottle let down 
    
I've always had a bottle I could turn to 
                                  E7  
And lately I've been turning everyday   
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to 
                                   A  
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
