C
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
                          C7
Where do you think you're at, pretty mama
F                                              C
Blues in the bottle, where do you think you're at
             G7
You went and kicked my dog
                          C  G7
And now you've drowned my cat

C
Goin' to Chattanoogie, goin' to Chattanoogie
              C7
See my ponies run, pretty mama
F                                      C
Goin' to Chattanoogie to see my ponies run
     G7
If I win a prize
                  C    G7
I'll give my baby some

C
Rooster chews tobacco, rooster chews tobacco
         C7
Hen uses snuff, pretty mama
F                                          C
The rooster chews tobacco and the hen uses snuff
         G7
The baby chickens don't take nothin'
                          C    G7
But they just strut their stuff

C
Goin' to Silly putty, goin' to  Silly putty
                   C7
Sorry I can't take you, pretty mama
F                                        C
Goin' to Silly putty, sorry I can't take you
          G7
I can't a bide no woman
                        C
Who goes round sniffin' glue

C
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
                          C7
Where do you think you're at, pretty mama
F                                              C
Blues in the bottle, where do you think you're at
             G7
You went and kicked my dog
                          C
And now you've drowned my cat
