Chords for Sheryl Cormier performing her original song "La Boutille".

Over the years I've heard bits and pieces of other songs, you know, you put _ a phrase here and a phrase there,
and one day I decided I would do something in _ _ _ Cajun, something called the bottle,
_ and I understand they got a lot of songs with the name the bottle or _ _ even stuff like,
whiskey is a friend of mine, but this song here I [D] put it in French and _ Russell sings it,
and it's about _ someone _ that turns _ [N] to the bottle because, _ _ I forget the person there,
probably having a relationship [F] with their mind, and _ _ it just goes [Fm] on and on.
_ The whiskey _ _ _ _ _ is the reason.
A drink at a time, take you off my mind.
Take you off my mind.
_ So [Em] _ [G] _ _ [N] it's _ very appropriate for _ someone that's having problems [C#] maybe.
_ _ [N] Well, Cajun music is sort of like country music.
Yeah.
If you understand the language of Cajun, the lyrics are almost the same thing as,
you broke my heart, I'm crying because of you.
You're laughing.
[G] You're laughing, you're sitting up, all this stuff, you know.
