Merle Haggard

^D Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time ^A
A But tonight you memory found me much to sober
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind ^D
CHORUS:
^D Tonight the bottle let me down
and let you memory come around ^A
A The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down ^D
D I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turning everyday ^A
A But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way ^D
CHORUS:
^D Tonight the bottle let down
and let you memory come around ^A
A The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let down ^D
A Tonight the bottle let down ^D
