Bury The Bottle With Me

Tom : C
G Em G Em

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
G 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 alone tonight
C G
When they put me in the ground
C G
When they lower my body down

[Verse 3]
G Em
A drunkard 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 without

[Verse 4]
G 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

[Chorus]
