[Intro]
A#m F#
[Verse]
C# F#
She put him out like the burning end
A#m
of a midnight cigarette
G# C#
She broke his heart
F# G#
he spent his whole life trying to forget
A#m G#
We watched him drink his pain away
C#
a little at a time
A#m G#
But he never could get drunk enough
C#
to get her off his mind
G#
Until tonight
[Chorus]
C#
He put that bottle to his head
F# G#
and pulled the trigger
A#m G# F#
And finally drank away her memory
C# G#
Life is short but this time it was bigger
A#m G# F#
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
C# G#
They found him with his face down in the pillow
A#m G# F#
With a note that said I'll love her til I die
C# G#
And when we buried him beneath the willow
F# A#m
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
A#m F#
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
A#m F#
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
[Verse]
C# F#
The rumors flew but nobody knew
A#m
how much she blamed herself
G# C# F#
For years and years she tried
G#
to hide the whiskey on her breath
A#m G#
She finally drank her pain away
C#
a little at a time
A#m G#
But she never could get drunk enough
C#
to get him off her mind
G#
Until the night
[Chorus]
C#
She put that bottle to her head
F# G#
and pulled the trigger
A#m G# F#
And finally drank away his memory
C# G#
Life is short but this time it was bigger
A#m G# F#
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
C# G#
We found her with her face down in the pillow
A#m G# F#
Clinging to his picture for dear life
C# G#
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
F# A#m
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
A#m F# A#m F#
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
A#m F# A#m F#
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
A#m~ F#~ \
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
