[Intro]

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

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