Intro: //// //// //// ////
GEm
There's a stone, in yonder graveyard
GG7
With my name carved in it deep
CG
It don't tell, my life story
CG
These things, it can't repeat
Em
I never had a family
GG7
I never took a wife
CG
All I had, was a bottle
CG
And I drank away my life
Chorus:
Em
So bury the bottle with me
GG7
For it's what tore me down
CG
So I won't be a--lone tonight
CG
When they put me in the ground
CG
When they lower my body down
Em
A drunker, is a sinner
GG7
On this, I place no doubt
CG
Oh the Lord, won't share his palace
CG
With the things he lives with--out
Em
For the bottle is the devil
GG7
And drinking is his name
CG
Now the bottle, is what took my soul
CG
And petrified my brain
Repeat Chorus
