THE BOTTLE LET ME DOWN As recorded by Emmylou Harris (From the 1975 Album PIECES OF THE SKY) [Intro] D G [Chorus]
G
Tonight the bottle let me down

                         D
and let your memory come around

D
The one true friend I thought I'd found

                          G
Tonight the bottle let me down
[Verse 1]
G
I've always had a bottle I could turn to

                                  D
And lately I've been turning everyday

D
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to

                                   G
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
[Chorus]
C  G
 Tonight the bottle let me down

                         D
and let your memory come around

D
The one true friend I thought I'd found

                          G
Tonight the bottle let me down
[Mandolin & Guitar Solo] G D G [Verse 2]
C    G
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over

                        D
Not feeling any pain at closing time

D
But tonight you memory found me much to sober

                                         G
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
[Chorus]
C  G
 Tonight the bottle let me down

                         D
and let your memory come around

D
The one true friend I thought I'd found

                          G
Tonight the bottle let me down

  D                        G
Tonight the bottle let me down
