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