Merle Haggard

^D Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing ^A7 time
^A7 But tonight you memory found me much to sober
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my ^D mind


CHORUS:
To ^D night the bottle let down
and let you memory come a ^A7 round
^A7 The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let ^D down

2nd. Verse:

I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turning everyday
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way


CHORUS

Tonight the bottle let down
