Intro: Bm  G

      D       G               Bm
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
   A     D    G                 A
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
  Bm             A D
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
    Bm            A  D
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
     A
Until tonight...

       D           G     A
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
   Bm           A  G
And finally drank away her memory
D                  A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
     Bm            A    G
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
   D                  A
They found him with his face down in the pillow
    Bm              A   G
With a note that said I'll love her til I die
   D               A
And when we buried him beneath the willow
   G             Bm
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm                    G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
Bm                    G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la


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


       D           G     A
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
   Bm           A  G
And finally drank away his memory
D                  A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
     Bm             A    G
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
   D                   A
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Bm            A    G
Clinging to his picture for dear life
   D                A
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
    G             Bm
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm                    G  Bm G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
