[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
There's a Gstone in yonder Emgraveyard
With my Gname carved in it G7deep
It don't Ctell my life Gstory
These Cthings it can't Grepeat
[Verse 2]
I Gnever had a Emfamily
I Gnever took a G7wife
All I Chad was a Gbottle
And I Cdrank away my Glife
[Chorus]
So Embury the bottle with me
For Git's what tore me G7down
So CI won't be aGlone tonight
When they Cput me in the Gground
When they Clower my body Gdown
[Verse 3]
A Gdrunkard is a Emsinner
On Gthis I place no G7doubt
Oh the CLord won't share his Gpalace
With the Cthings he lives Gwithout
[Verse 4]
For the Gbottle is the Emdevil
And Gdrinking is his G7name
Now Cthe bottle is what Gtook my soul
And Cpetrified my Gbrain
[Chorus]
So Embury the bottle with me
For Git's what tore me G7down
So CI won't be aGlone tonight
When they Cput me in the Gground
When they Clower my body Gdown
