/*************** FROM THE BOTTLE TO THE BOTTOM ****************/
written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.
Verse 1:
G
You ask me if i’m happy now
D
That’s good as any joke i’ve heard
It seems since i’ve seen you last
G
I’ve done forgotten the meening of the words
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinkin’ in the afternoon
C
Well i suppose i’m happy as a clown
D
But if it’s got a thing to do
With smilin’ of forgettin’ you
G
Well i don’t guess that i could say i am
Chorus:
G
Did you ever see a darling out a waken up alone
D
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds that sop the paper
G
He’s been puttin’ in his shoes to keep the ground from comin’ through
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
C
Because he’s never seen a single dream come true
D
That’s the way that i’ve been feelin’ since the day i started fallen
From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew
G
Learnin’ hard to live with losin’ you
Verse 2:
G
You wonder if i’m better off
D
With freedom now to do the things i choose
With all my times my own and
G
I got nothin’ left but sleepin’ time to lose
There’s no one here to carry on
If i stay out the whole night lone
C
Give a thinker’s damn if i don’t call
D
I’m livin’ like i wanted you
And doin’ things i wanna do
G
And nothin’ means a things to me at all
Chorus.
