Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down by Waylon Jennings Guitar Chords


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
