G                                        C
Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey
       G                  D7        G
I know Friday night he'll do it all again
                                             C              G
Oh he'll drink till he falls down then he'll order one more round
                           D7            G
And then go home with that bottle in his hand

                                             C            G
And they only thing I can hold on to is this bottle in my hand
                                                  D7
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
                       D7           G
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand

                                            C             G
She told George that changing diapers could sure become a drug
                                                            D7
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
                            D7            G
Then she left him with that bottle in his hand

                                              C            G
And the only thing I can count on now is this bottle in my hand
                                                     D7
I know I'll never have to share it oh with any other man
       G                              C             G
I'm so glad you introduced us oh I'll do the best I can
                       D7           G
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand
                              D7            C    G
Yes we'll be faithful to this bottle in our h-a-nd
