[Intro]
Am F
[Verse]
C F
She put him out like the burning end
Am
of a midnight cigarette
G C
She broke his heart
F G
he spent his whole life trying to forget
Am G
We watched him drink his pain away
C
a little at a time
Am G
But he never could get drunk enough
C
to get her off his mind
G
Until tonight
[Chorus]
C
He put that bottle to his head
F G
and pulled the trigger
Am G F
And finally drank away her memory
C G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Am G F
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
C G
They found him with his face down in the pillow
Am G F
With a note that said I'll love her til I die
C G
And when we buried him beneath the willow
F Am
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am F
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
Am F
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
[Verse]
C F
The rumors flew but nobody knew
Am
how much she blamed herself
G C F
For years and years she tried
G
to hide the whiskey on her breath
Am G
She finally drank her pain away
C
a little at a time
Am G
But she never could get drunk enough
C
to get him off her mind
G
Until the night
[Chorus]
C
She put that bottle to her head
F G
and pulled the trigger
Am G F
And finally drank away his memory
C G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Am G F
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
C G
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Am G F
Clinging to his picture for dear life
C G
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
F Am
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am F Am F
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
Am F Am F
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
