The Bottles Gone

[Intro ]
G    Em    D    C 
G 


 
G                                              Em 
It's the same old song, it's eight generations long 
D                               C                       G 
It's in you and it's in me, the bloody urge to kill a king 
                                          Em 
It's a heavy debt weighing on your family crest 
D                           C                           G 
We got by and brother died, and Daddy drank and Momma cried 
 

 
            Em           G 
And pull it out, take it in 
       C           G 
Fill a dram for my kin 
         C           G                  D 
It's the Cardinal Curse from across the pond 
                 Em 
Now the bottle's gone 
 

Interlude 
G  C  G  Em  G  C  G 

 
G                                        Em 
And it's a steep decline way down in the mine 
D                                    C                               G 
Granddad's eyes are lightning white, and coal done stole his ivory hide 
                                                     Em 
And if I hold on tight, I might make it through this life 
D                                         C                      G 
Water's quiet and whiskey screams, it's a bad time for living clean 
 

 
        Em           G                      G 
Pull it out, take it in, fill a dram for my kin 
         C           G                  D 
It's the Cardinal Curse from across the pond 
                 Em G 
Now the bottle's gone 


Instrumental Break 
C  G  Em  G  C  G 


Out-Chorus 
            Em           G 
And pull it out, take it in 
       C           G 
Fill a dram for my kin 
         C           G                  D 
It's the Cardinal Curse from across the pond 
                     Em G  C 
And now the bottle's gone 
G                    Em G  C  Em 
And now the bottle's gone
