[E] No man ever sounded so lonesome
[A] No man ever made you feel such [E] pain
[A] Lord, it must have been a real mean [E] bottle
That [B] made you sing that [E] way

[E] The stories you told about prison
[A] About a young man gone [E] astray
[A] Lord, it must have been a real mean [E] bottle
That [B] made you write the songs that [E] way

Chorus:
[A] A real mean bottle
Poured [E] straight from the Devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here [B] today
[A] A real mean bottle
Made [E] you such a rebel
[A] It must have been a real mean [B] bottle
Made you sing that [E] way

Solo [E] [A] [E] [A] [E]
{Essentially over the verse 2X except for the [B]-[E] play major scale}

[E] You spent most all your life with strangers
[A] With a ramblin' fever in your [E] veins
[A] Hag, it must have been a real mean [E] bottle
That [B] made you play the blues that [E] way

Chorus:
[A] A real mean bottle
Poured [E] straight from the Devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here [B] today
[A] A real mean bottle
Made [E] you such a rebel
[A] It must have been a real mean [B] bottle
Made you sing that [E] way

Play this Lick and end.
