Bottle in my Hand
George Jones & David Allen Coe
Capo 3rd
1st Verse:
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
(For the second verse, there’s a key change. The easy way to accomplish this is to
move the capo up to the 5th fret. This version IS correct! Play along with George
and Allen and see!)
