[Intro]
A   A   A   A   A   A   D   D
[Verse 1]
     D                                                                         A
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over, not feeling any pain at closing time
      A                                                                                   D
But tonight your memory found me much too sober; couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
[Chorus]
  D                                                       A
Tonight the bottle let me down, and let your memory come around
    A                                                              D
The one true friend I thought I'd found; tonight the bottle let me down
[Solo]
A   A   A   A   A   A   D   D
[Verse 2]
     D                                                                       A
I've always had a bottle I could turn to, and lately I've been turning every day
        A                                                                             D
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to, and I'm hurting in an old familiar way
[Chorus]
  D                                                       A
Tonight the bottle let me down, and let your memory come around
    A                                                              D
The one true friend I thought I'd found; tonight the bottle let me down
[Turnaround]
  A                       D      D
Tonight the bottle let me down
