Bury The Bottle With Me - Dick Curless
Album: Drag ‘Em Off The Interstate (1998)
He first released this song in 1968 on his Long Lonesome Road album.
Intro: [G]//// [Em]//// [G]//// [Em]////
There's a [G] stone, in yonder [Em] graveyard
With my [G] name carved in it [G7] deep
It don't [C] tell, my life [G] story
These [C] things, it can't [G] repeat
I never had a [Em] family
I [G] never took a [G7] wife
All I [C] had, was a [G] bottle
And I [C] drank away my [G] life
Chorus:
So [Em] bury the bottle with me
For [G] it's what tore me [G7] down
So [C] I won't be a-[G]-lone tonight
When they [C] put me in the [G] ground
When they [C] lower my body [G] down
A drunker, is a [Em] sinner
On [G] this, I place no [G7] doubt
Oh the [C] Lord, won't share his [G] palace
With the [C] things he lives with-[G]-out
For the bottle is the [Em] devil
And [G] drinking is his [G7] name
Now the [C] bottle, is what [G] took my soul
And [C] petrified my [G] brain
Repeat Chorus
