As recorded by Conway Twitty (From the 1970 Album HELLO DARLIN') [Intro] C G D C D G [Chorus]
C                       G
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man

                                C
I can't help him but I can understand

     D
When up comes the bottle

    C     G     D7    C        G
And down, down, down, goes the man
[Verse 1]
G
You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair

     D                           C              G
With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air

                                       A7
And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand

     D7
Then up comes the bottle

    C     G     D7    C        G
And down, down, down, goes the man
[Verse 2]
G
You can read between the lines of his withered face

      D                           C               G
See defeat in his eyes that keeps searching every place

G
Just when he tells you he can quit

            A7
You see the tremble in his hands

     D7
Then up comes the bottle

    C     G     D7    C        G
And down, down, down, goes the man
[Out-Chorus]
C                       G
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man

G
There's just one thing can stop him

                                 D7
The love of my woman is all that can

       G     C        G
For he loves her, you see, but she left him for me

                                C
I can't help him but I can understand

     D7                       C     G     D7    C        G
When up comes the bottle, and down, down, down, goes the man
