Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down Oleh Waylon Jennings

Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down–Waylon Jennings
written by Merle Haggard
Thanks to CowboyUp for the basic chords. While I don’t agree with Waylon’s “flip
of the bird” to the Hag near the end of the song, I have to admit, he sings the hell
out of this one. And few can play steel like Ralph Mooney.

NOTE: On the D…I play a pattern of D, D/A, and D/F#, but it’s not necessary.

INTRO: D D/A A D A D/A

Each night I leave the barroom when it’s over
Not feeling any pain at closin’ time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn’t drink enough to get you offa my mind

CHORUS:
Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I’d found
Tonight the bottle let me down

SOLO

I’ve always had a bottle that I could turn to
Lately I’ve been turnin’ every day
But the booze don’t take affect the way it used to
I keep a hurting in old familiar ways

CHORUS

(Ralph Mooney!)
(Eat your heart out, Haggard!)

SOLO

CHORUS (fade)
