Introduction:
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
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
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
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

Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

We found her with her face down in the pillow

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
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
