[Intro]
G C D G

[Chorus]
G                 C       D      G
Ten green bottles sitting on the wall
G                 C       D      G
Ten green bottles sitting on the wall
G
And if one green bottle
G      C   D        G
Should accidentally fall…

[Verse]
Bdim
For God's sake, pick it up and put it back!
The Duke is coming round
Cdim
It took me ages putting all these
Bottles on the wall
C#dim
And if the Master sees one bottle
Even slightly out of place
Ddim
He's going to yell at us and punish us
And lock us in the cellar.
D#dim
So be careful with those bottles
If you break one… IF YOU BDA K ONE
Edim
Then he'll kill us, don't you understand?
He'll ACTUALLY kill us!
Fdim
He'll slice us and he'll dice us
And he'll cut us into ribbons
F#dim
And he'll tear off both our eyelids
And he'll put them back the wrong way round!

[Chorus]
N.C.             G                  C       D      G
…and there'll be nine green bottles sitting on the wall.
