G       G       C       C       Am      D       G

[Verse 1]
                      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 2]
               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

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
                           Am            D
Yeah the thing that really gets me
                         G
Is how your memory drowns the whiskey

G       C       C

[Outro]
                      G
All the folks down in Lynchburg, Tennessee
                      C
Been working hard for good ol' boys like me
