Intro: //// //// //// ////
G Em
There's a stone, in yonder graveyard
G G7
With my name carved in it deep
C G
It don't tell, my life story
C G
These things, it can't repeat
Em
I never had a family
G G7
I never took a wife
C G
All I had, was a bottle
C G
And I drank away my life
Chorus:
Em
So bury the bottle with me
G G7
For it's what tore me down
C G
So I won't be a--lone tonight
C G
When they put me in the ground
C G
When they lower my body down
Em
A drunker, is a sinner
G G7
On this, I place no doubt
C G
Oh the Lord, won't share his palace
C G
With the things he lives with--out
Em
For the bottle is the devil
G G7
And drinking is his name
C G
Now the bottle, is what took my soul
C G
And petrified my brain
Repeat Chorus
