GCG
There was a time when I could drink my cares away
AAD
And drown out all of the heartaches that hurt me night & day
GCG
When the thought of you came crashin' through I'd have one more
DG
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
CG
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
EAD
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
GCGA woman warm & willing is what I'm looking for
DG
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin anymore
break ...... CGDGCG
They knew my name at every bar in town
G#AD
And they knew all of the reasons why I was comming round
round round (sing it Travis)
GCGC
'Cause in my mind peace I'd find when they'd start to pour
GDG
But now the whiskey ain't workinm' anymore (sing it Slim)
CG
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
EAD
That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down
GCG
Well a woman warm & willing Lord that's what I'm lookin' for
DG
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
CGDG
Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
