[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
