Capo VII

[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
Em                                      C   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

La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
