Paul Mcdermott – Bottle chords

[Verse 1]
E                            AA stinking sun burned me awake
AThrough the shattered window panes
EI recall through eyes of claret red
AHe had taken me again

G#mAnd the hair of the dog revives me
DYet I find it hard to swallow
AIt's a marriage made in Heaven
                   EBetween me and the bottle

[Verse 2]
EA thousand words drift through my hands
AAs the room just bends
EA sodden mattress holds my heart
AAnd it cradles my regret

G#mI'll read it once again
DThough she knows that I'll not follow
AIt's a marriage of convenience
                   EBetween me and the bottle

[Verse 3]
ESo King Alcohol's come back
AWith the traffic's mournful cry
EAnd he swaggers, drunk and skinful,
           AThrough my throat all parched and dry

G#mAnd if I should die before I wake
DI pray the lord my soul to take
ASo maybe I could rest
                     AmAnd never wake again in sorrow

G#mAnd if I should die before I wake
DI pray the lord my soul to take
AThen maybe I could rest
                             EAnd never wake again in sorrow

[Outtro]
AIt's a marriage on the rocks
                   EBetween me and the bottle
