Standard (EADGBE)

There was a time when I could drink my cares away

 And drown out all of the heartaches that hurt me night & day

 When the thought of you came crashin' through I'd have one more

 But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

 I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around

 That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down

 A woman warm & willing is what I'm looking for

 'Cause the whiskey ain't workin anymore

 break ......

 They knew my name at every bar in town

 And they knew all of the reasons why I was comming round

round round (sing it Travis)

 'Cause in my mind peace I'd find when they'd start to pour

 But now the whiskey ain't workinm' anymore (sing it Slim)

 I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around

 That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down

 Well a woman warm & willing Lord that's what I'm lookin' for

 'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

That's for sure!
