The Bottle Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

D D/F♯ G

  D I just cracked the D/F♯ top on some G Jim Beam I just bought.

 Took a D big ol' swig an' A I just set her D down.

 It's a foolish thing to D/F♯ think, that you could G kill the hurt with drink,

 But it's the D only thing that A I can think of D now. D/C♯

  Bm Got her down to the top A of the st G icker:

 I Em7 wish this stuff would kick in a little A quicker.

  D I can still see us on that D/F♯ tiltawhirl, spinnin'.

  Cotton G candy in the wind she had A mustard on her chin,

  From that D corn-dog that slipped right D/F♯ off of the stick,

  And that G top of the Ferriss wheel A kiss.

  I Em7 ain't forgot A D/F♯ bout that G yet,

  But I Em7 still have some A whiskey D left.

  D Sure thought I'd be D/F♯ able, once I G reached the middle of the label,

 That D some of those memories would A somehow wash a D way.

 Now I'm pushin' toward the D/F♯ bottom, and thoughts of G her, yeah, I still got 'em.

 Those D shots, I've shot 'em, but they A ain't killed yester D day. (D/C♯m)

  Bm Just A little below A the st G icker:

 Yeah, I Em7 must've got a bad batch of A liquor.

  D I can still see her standin' D/F♯ there on that sidewalk,

  Yellin' G out for the taxi that would A take her away,

  From the D arms of the one that still D/F♯ loves her

  With all of his G heart. A

  I Em7 ain't forgot A D/F♯ bout that G yet,

  But I Em7 still have some A whiskey D left.

Solo

  D I just tipped it D/F♯ up an' took the G last sip from the cup:

 Threw that D bottle on the A ground an'started to D cry.

 I know that I've had D/F♯ plenty an' G now there just ain't any,

 An' D I'm just as empty as that A bottle inside.
