[Intro]
G G C C Am D G
[Verse]
                      G 
All the folks down in Lynchburg, Tennessee 
                      C 
Been working hard for good ol' boys like me 
                            Am 
I don't wanna be the one to tell 'em 
                             D 
That stuff that they've been selling 
                      G 
Ain't working like it should 
                        D 
But I damn sure wish it would
[Chorus]
                                C 
Whiskey's supposed to drown the memory 
                              G 
I've gone from one to one too many 
                           D            C 
And the thing that really gets me 
                         G 
Is how your memory drowns the whiskey
[Verse]
               G 
Maybe it's the bar or the stool I'm on 
               C 
Maybe it's the band and the sad old song 
                       Am 
That keeps me buying rounds 
                       D 
That keeps me turning down 
                        G 
Any girl that wants to dance 
                              D 
And you ain't giving them a chance
[Chorus]
                                C 
Whiskey's supposed to drown the memory 
                              G 
I've gone from one to one too many 
                           D            C 
And the thing that really gets me 
                         G 
Is how your memory drowns the whiskey
[Instrumental]
Am      Am      D       D
[Bridge]
         Am 
Girl I'm living proof, that 80 proof 
       D 
Ain't got a shot, at touching you
[Chorus]
                                    C 
But whiskey's supposed to drown the memory 
                              G 
I've gone from one to one too many 
                           D 
And the thing that really gets me 
                                   C 
Is whiskey's supposed to drown the memory 
                              G 
I've gone from one to one too many 
                          D             C 
And the thing that really gets me 
                         G 
Is how your memory drowns the whiskey 
                           D            C 
Yeah the thing that really gets me 
                         G 
Is how your memory drowns the whiskey
