 E                               
  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
 
      E A E A E 
 Solo     
                                               B E                 
 {Essentially over the verse 2X except for the - play major scale}
 
 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
 
 Play this Lick and end.
