Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]There was [G]a time [Am]I cou[G]ld
[C]drink my cares [G]away
[D]And dro[G]wn out all of the heartaches
[A]That hurt me night and day[D]
When the [G]thought of you came
crashing [C]through
I'd have one [G]more
But now the whiskey ain't
[D]workin' [G]anymore
[Am]I need[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]one good honky-tonk angel
angel
To [G]turn my life [D]around
[G]That's reason enough for [E]me to lay
[A]This ol' bottle [D]down
A [G]woman warm and willin',
that's [C]what I'm lookin' [G]for
[D]'Cause the [G]whiskey ain't [D]workin'
any[G]more

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][C][G][Bb][F][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
They knew my [G]name at
[C]every bar in [G]town[D]
And [G]they knew all of the reasons
[A]Why I was comin' 'ro[D]und, round,
[A]rou[D]nd (sing it, Travis)
'Cause [G]in my mind,
[C]peace I'd [G]find when they'd [D]start [G]to [C]pour
But now [G]the whiskey ain't [D]workin'
any[G]more (sing it, son)
[Am]I need[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]one good honky-tonk angel
angel
To [G]turn my life around
That's reason enough for [E]me to lay
[A]This ol' bottle [D]down
Well, a wo[G]man warm and willin'
Lord, [C]that's what I'm lookin'
[G]for (that's right)
[D]'Cause the [G]whiskey ain't
[D]workin' any[G]more
[Am][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Lord, [D]the whi[G]skey
ain't [D]workin' anymore
[G](That's for sure)
