[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
F#m                                      D   F#m  D
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
F#m                                      D   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

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