Will I ask my old buddy to call her on the phone 

                                                     G7 
He'll say I'm working late again once more she'll be alone 

             C                            C7        F 
But I'll sit here in this barroom just as long as I can 

          C      F      C            G7                C 
Cause the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man 


      F                                 C 
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run 

                    F       C         G7 
Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can 

         C                            C7           F 
But I'll keep up my sinful livin' and she'll go on forgivin' 

              C      F      C            G7                C 
She knows the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man 



I'd go home if I was able cause this night life's gettin' old 

                                               G7 
Like the food on the table our love is growing cold 

        C                            C7             F 
But she goes to bed each evening without her loving man 

            C      F      C            G7                C 
Because the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man 


      F                                 C 
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run 

                    F     C          G7 
Cause I've hurt her every way that I can 

         C                            C7           F 
But I'll keep up my sinful livin' and she'll go on forgivin' 

              C      F      C            G7                C 
She knows the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man
