Capo 3
Chorus:
G D
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
G D
And give it a woman's name
G D Bm
A man needs something to hold on
E7 A
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
G D
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
G D
Intoxicating as her kiss
G Bm
Something special like champagne
G D
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
G A D
And give it a woman's name
D
Her leaving's the reason I'm drinking
C G
Oh I've never felt so alone
G D Bm
Night and day I stay stoned
E7 A
Hoping to forget she's gone
D
I never thought she'd do me so dirty
C G
Together forever she promised me
G D Bm
She took her promise and left a memory
E7 A
The day the woman walked out on me
Chorus
Chorus
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
