VERSE:
       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

 D    G    Bm  A D    G    A

   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 the night...

CHORUS:
        D                A
 He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
   Bm             G
 And finally drank away her memory
 D                 A
 Life is short but this time it was bigger
      Bm                G
 Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

 D    A    Bm    G    D    A    Bm    G

    D                  A
 They found him with his face down in the pillow
     Bm                 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

VERSE:
       D         G                Bm
 The rumors flew     but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
        D        G                A
 For years and years    she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath

   D                  A
 We found her with her face down in the pillow
 Bm                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
