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