No man ever sounded so lonesome
A E
No man ever made you feel such pain
A E
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
B E
That made you sing that way
E
The stories you told about prison
A E
About a young man gone astray
A E
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
B E
That made you write the songs that way
Chorus:
A
A real mean bottle
E
Poured straight from the Devil
B
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A
A real mean bottle
E
Made you such a rebel
A B
It must have been a real mean bottle
E
Made you sing that way

Solo
E
You spent most all your life with strangers
A E
With a ramblin' fever in your veins
A E
Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle
B E
That made you play the blues that way
Chorus:
A
A real mean bottle
E
Poured straight from the Devil
B
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A
A real mean bottle
E
Made you such a rebel
A B
It must have been a real mean bottle
E
Made you sing that way
