C
Now women and whiskey, they ain't the answer
                                    G
Lord, I just know that this is true
                      C                          F
But the way that I'm feeling, I just might be thinking
         C                G            C
Lord tonight, they just might have to do
C
I've spent a lot of long and lonely nights in honky tonk taverns
      C                                               G
I was two fisted drinking, fighting back against the wall
                    C                    F
And I know it's a problem, a now-win situation
              C       G                      C
But I can't seem to resist that old whiskey bar


Chorus:
                F                               C
So pour me a drink, why don't you give me the bottle
                    Am                              C   G
Sit me down in the corner, until we're two sheets gone
                       F                            C
And don't tell me no stories about a good hearted woman
                      G                   C
I want to hear Your Cheatin' Heart and cry all night long


Now me and my buddies, we got a lot in common
We all wish that we could take time and just turn it around
Take us back to the good lod days, hard work and cowboy ways
Take us to a swingin' door saloon, this is what I'm gonna say

Chorus 2x
