G
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
                          G7
Where do you think you're at, pretty mama
C                                              G
Blues in the bottle, where do you think you're at
             D7
You went and kicked my dog
                          G  D7
And now you've drowned my cat

G
Goin' to Chattanoogie, goin' to Chattanoogie
              G7
See my ponies run, pretty mama
C                                      G
Goin' to Chattanoogie to see my ponies run
     D7
If I win a prize
                  G    D7
I'll give my baby some

G
Rooster chews tobacco, rooster chews tobacco
         G7
Hen uses snuff, pretty mama
C                                          G
The rooster chews tobacco and the hen uses snuff
         D7
The baby chickens don't take nothin'
                          G    D7
But they just strut their stuff

G
Goin' to Silly putty, goin' to  Silly putty
                   G7
Sorry I can't take you, pretty mama
C                                        G
Goin' to Silly putty, sorry I can't take you
          D7
I can't a bide no woman
                        G
Who goes round sniffin' glue

G
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
                          G7
Where do you think you're at, pretty mama
C                                              G
Blues in the bottle, where do you think you're at
             D7
You went and kicked my dog
                          G
And now you've drowned my cat
