GEORGE JONES
D G
Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey
D A7 D G D
And I know Friday night he'll do it all again
D G D
And he'll drink 'til he falls down
G D
and he’ll order one more round
G D A7 D G D
and then go home with that bottle in his hand
D G D
and the only thing I can hold onto
G D
is this bottle in my hand
G D A7
I know I'll never have to share it with any other man
D G D G D
I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can
G D A7 D G D
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand

DAVID:
E
She told George that changing diapers
A E
could sure become a drag
and to clean the house and cook for him
B
was not her kind of bag
E A E
she said he needed someone who would love and understand
A E B E A E
and then she left him with that bottle in his hand
repeat the Chorus
G D A7 G D
Yes we'll be thankful for this bottle in our hanD
