Track 3 of 11 on the album "Country Hit Time" (1968) [Intro] D D D7 G [Verse 1]
     G
Each night, I leave the barroom when it's over

    G                           D
Not feeling any pain at closing time

      D
But tonight, your memory found me much too sober

           D               D7             G
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind
[Chorus]
  G
Tonight, the bottle let me down

    G                     D
And let your memory come around

    D
The one true friend I thought I'd found

  D          D7            G
Tonight, the bottle let me down
[Interlude] D D D7 G [Verse 2]
     G
I've always had a bottle I could turn to

    G                               D
And lately, I've been turning every day

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

        D             D7           G
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
[Chorus]
  G
Tonight, the bottle let me down

    G                     D
And let your memory come around

    D
The one true friend I thought I'd found

      D          D7            G
But tonight, the bottle let me down

       D          D7            G
Yes, tonight, the bottle let me down
