Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey

And I know Friday night he'll do it all again

And he'll drink 'til he falls down and he’ll order one more round

and then go home with that bottle in his hand

Chorus

and the only thing I can hold onto is this bottle in my hand

I know I'll never have to share it with any other man

I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can

To be faithful to this bottle in my hand

2nd Verse:

She told George that changing diapers could sure become a drag

and to clean the house and cook for him was not her kind of bag

she said he needed someone who would love and understand

and then she left him with that bottle in his hand

(repeat the chorus and upon outro)

Yes we'll be thankful for this bottle in our hand
