Merle Haggard – The Bottle Let Me Down (Ukulele)

F
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over

                                                   C
Not feeling any pain at closing time

C
But tonight you memory found me much to sober

                                                                       F
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

F                         
Tonight the bottle let me down

                                            C
and let you memory come around

C
The one true friend I thought I'd found

                                           F
Tonight the bottle let me down 

F
I've always had a bottle I could turn to

                                                          C
And lately I've been turning everyday

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

                                                           F
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way

F                         
Tonight the bottle let down

                                             C
and let you memory come around

C
The one true friend I thought I'd found

                                     F
Tonight the bottle let down 

C                                  F
Tonight the bottle let down
