Introdução:
D G Bm
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
A D G A
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
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
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
We found him with his face down in the pillow
Bm G
With a note that said I' ll love her till I die
D A
And when we buried him beneath the willow
G Bm
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
Bm G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
D G Bm
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
A D G A
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
Bm A D
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
Bm A D
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
A
Until the night
D A
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
Bm G
And finally drank away his memory
D A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Bm 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 G
clinging to his picture for dear life
D A
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
G Bm
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm G
la la la la la la la lalalalala (gradually grow softer)
Bm G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
Bm G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
Bm (One stroke, hard on the E string)
