       G#
Well I always heard tale of
                             C#
a little bitty still in the backwoods
           D#
Where old Hillbilly Bill made corn and
             G#
sugar taste real good

So me and my buds finally got the nerve up
Took a little chug-a-lug from a big brown jug
Sweet and so smooth, it took me to the moon
I said Billy brother what we ought to do is

Chorus:
          G#
Bottle it up

Load it in the back of my truck
                          D#

And I hadn't ever seen nothing near
as pretty as she was
She was leading me around like a love-sick hound
When she came slipping out of that pink prom gown
Lordy I was leaving, dancing on the ceiling
I wish that I could take that feeling and

Chorus

      B                F#
Well first time buzz, first time hook
 D#
First time foot on the throttle rush
          G# C#
Bottle it up
                    G# C#
Go on and bottle it up

Chorus:
Yeah, bottle it up
Load it in the back of my truck
'Cause now I bet you we could take it into town
Pass it all around and folks will never get enough
I said bottle it up
Good God almighty, it's some mighty mighty
powerful stuff
Sell it by the keg, sell it by the case
Make a couple million bucks
Bottle it up
Said bottle it up
