David Alan Coe - This Bottle In My Hand guitar tab

Another great song from the pen of DAC. Yet another written for George Jones.

hey performed this as a duet on his first greatest hits album. (For The Record)

(you may find it plesant to augment this with C/B Gsus and Dsus as passing chords

but they are not integral to the song I provided sketches but they are not actually

in the song)

G C

Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey

G D G

And I know Friday night he'll do it all again

G C G

Oh he'll drink 'til he falls down and then order one more round

D G

and then go home with that bottle in his hand

CHORUS:

G C G

and the only thing I can hold onto is This Bottle In My Hand

D

I know I'll never have to share it with any other man

G C G

I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can

D G

To be faithful to this bottle in my hand

N/C G C G

She told George that changing diapers could sure become a drag

D

and to clean the house and cook for him was not her kind of bag

G C G

she said he needed someone who would love and understand

D G

and then she left him with this bottle in his hand

(repeat the chorus and upon outro)

G D G

Yes we'll be thankful for this bottle in our hand
