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