I
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
                          I7
Where do you think you're at, pretty mama
IV                                             I
Blues in the bottle, where do you think you're at
             V7
You went and kicked my dog
                          I  V7
And now you've drowned my cat

I
Goin' to Chattanoogie, goin' to Chattanoogie
              I7
See my ponies run, pretty mama
IV                                     I
Goin' to Chattanoogie to see my ponies run
     V7
If I win a prize
                  I    V7
I'll give my baby some

I
Rooster chews tobacco, rooster chews tobacco
         I7
Hen uses snuff, pretty mama
IV                                         I
The rooster chews tobacco and the hen uses snuff
         V7
The baby chickens don't take nothin'
                          I    V7
But they just strut their stuff

I
Goin' to Silly putty, goin' to  Silly putty
                   I7
Sorry I can't take you, pretty mama
IV                                       I
Goin' to Silly putty, sorry I can't take you
          V7
I can't a bide no woman
                        I
Who goes round sniffin' glue

I
Blues in the bottle, blues in the bottle
                          I7
Where do you think you're at, pretty mama
IV                                             I
Blues in the bottle, where do you think you're at
             V7
You went and kicked my dog
                          I
And now you've drowned my cat
