[Intro]
Em C
[Verse]
G C
She put him out like the burning end
Em
of a midnight cigarette
D G
She broke his heart
C D
he spent his whole life trying to forget
Em D
We watched him drink his pain away
G
a little at a time
Em 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
Em D C
And finally drank away her memory
G D
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Em 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
Em 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 Em
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Em C
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
Em C
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
[Verse]
G C
The rumors flew but nobody knew
Em
how much she blamed herself
D G C
For years and years she tried
D
to hide the whiskey on her breath
Em D
She finally drank her pain away
G
a little at a time
Em D
But she never could get drunk enough
G
to get him off her mind
D
Until the night
[Chorus]
G
She put that bottle to her head
C D
and pulled the trigger
Em D C
And finally drank away his memory
G D
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Em 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
Em D C
Clinging to his picture for dear life
G D
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
C Em
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Em C Em C
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
