[Intro]

[Verse]
D G
She put him out like the burning end
Bm
of a midnight cigarette
A D
She broke his heart
G A
he spent his whole life trying to forget
Bm A
We watched him drink his pain away
D
a little at a time
Bm A
But he never could get drunk enough
D
to get her off his mind
A
Until tonight
[Chorus]
D
He put that bottle to his head
G A
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
[Verse]
D G
The rumors flew but nobody knew
Bm
how much she blamed herself
A D G
For years and years she tried
A
to hide the whiskey on her breath
Bm A
She finally drank her pain away
D
a little at a time
Bm A
But she never could get drunk enough
D
to get him off her mind
A
Until the night
[Chorus]
D
She put that bottle to her head
G A
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
