[Intro]
G#m   E


[Verse]
            B            E
She put him out like the burning end
                  G#m
of a midnight cigarette
    F#         B
She broke his heart
    E                                F#
he spent his whole life trying to forget
   G#m                          F#
We watched him drink his pain away
  B
a little at a time
       G#m                     F#
But he never could get drunk enough
   B
to get her off his mind
        F#
Until tonight


[Chorus]
            B
He put that bottle to his head
    E          F#
and pulled the trigger
    G#m                     F#   E
And finally drank away her memory
B                                  F#
Life is short but this time it was bigger
          G#m                       F#       E
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
     B                                   F#
They found him with his face down in the pillow
       G#m                           F#     E
With a note that said I'll love her til I die
    B                              F#
And when we buried him beneath the willow
    E                           G#m
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
G#m                                      E
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
G#m                                      E
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la


[Verse]
           B          E
The rumors flew but nobody knew
                       G#m
how much she blamed herself
    F#         B         E
For years and years she tried
                           F#
to hide the whiskey on her breath
    G#m                      F#
She finally drank her pain away
  B
a little at a time
        G#m                     F#
But she never could get drunk enough
   B
to get him off her mind
          F#
Until the night


[Chorus]
             B
She put that bottle to her head
    E          F#
and pulled the trigger
    G#m                     F#   E
And finally drank away his memory
B                                  F#
Life is short but this time it was bigger
          G#m                        F#       E
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
   B                                   F#
We found her with her face down in the pillow
G#m                      F#        E
Clinging to his picture for dear life
   B                                F#
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
      E                           G#m
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
G#m                                      E   G#m  E
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
G#m                                      E   G#m  E
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
G#m~                                     E~  \
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
