b=bend, h=hammer-on, p=pull-off
Whiskey on a Southbound bound for Angeltown
Let those diesel engines pull me down
Broke down man at the station house cryin' from his head to his hands
Lord it makes me wonder what she said
She said I have the strangest kind of innocence
But I'm gonna ask her exactly what that means
She said her mother likes me and I think I trust them both
And she treats me good enough for me to write this song
interlude:
after that: G D G
Well my girl got drunk and she's talkin' to some boys from high school
She knows how to swim but I think she wants to drown
Ticketman said she's tryin' to make me a jealous hearted man
Watchin' the telephone wires I nod my head
F G D G (same as the above part but w/out vocals)
Whiskey on a Southbound
Whiskey on a Southbound
Whiskey on a Southbound bound for Angeltown
