THE BOTTLE LET ME DOWN
As recorded by Emmylou Harris
(From the 1975 Album PIECES OF THE SKY)
Capo 1st fret

[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
