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

That's for sure!
