Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
G+G               C majorC          E minorEm
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
G+G           C majorC                D MajorD
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
E minorEm                   C majorC
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
    E minorEm               C majorC
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
     D MajorD
Until the night

Chorus 1:
  G+G                       D MajorD
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
   E minorEm            C majorC
And finally drank away her memory
 G+G                 D MajorD
Life is short but this time it was bigger
      E minorEm               C majorC
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
 G+G                    D MajorD
We found him with his face down in the pillow
 E minorEm                    C majorC
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
G+G                  D MajorD
And when we buried him beneath the willow
    C majorC           E minorEm
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
 E minorEm             C majorC
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 E minorEm             C majorC
la la la la la la la lalalalala


Verse 2:

G+G               C majorC          E minorEm
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
G+G           C majorC                D MajorD
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
E minorEm                   C majorC
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
E minorEm                   C majorC
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
 D MajorD
Until the night

Chorus 2:

G+G                       D MajorD
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
 E minorEm              C majorC
And finally drank away his memory
 G+G                 D MajorD
Life is short but this time it was bigger
 E minorEm                     C majorC
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
G+G                    D MajorD
We found her with her face down in the pillow
E minorEm                C majorC
Clinging to his picture for dear life
G+G                  D MajorD
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
 C majorC                 E minorEm
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby


Interlude:
 E minorEm             C majorC
la la la la la la la lalalalala  (graudually grow softer)
 E minorEm             C majorC
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 E minorEm             C majorC
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 E minorEm               (One stroke, hard on the E MajorE string)
la la la la la la la lalalalala
