INTRO: G
VERSE 1:
G C Em
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
G C D
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
Em D G
We watched him drink away his pain, a little at a time
Em D G
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
D
Until the night
CHORUS:
G D
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
Em D C
And finally blew away her memory
G D
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Em D C
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
G D
They found him with his face down in the pillow
Em C
With a note that said I'll love her til I die
G D
And when they buried him beneath the willow
C Em
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Em C
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
Em C
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
VERSE 2:
G C Em
The rumors flew but nobody knew just how she blamed herself
G C D
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
Em D G
She finally drank away her pain, a little at a time
Em D G
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
D
Until the night
CHORUS 2:
G D
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
Em D C
Then she finally blew away his memory
G D
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Em C
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
G D
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Em C
Clinging to his picture for dear life
G D
They laid her next to him beneath the willow
C Em
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Em C REPEAT 4x's and FADE
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
