Intro: Am   F

            C             F                             Am
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
     G         C        F                                 G
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
    Am                          G  C
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
       Am                       G   C
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
         G
Until tonight...


             C                      F          G
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
     Am                     G   F
And finally drank away her memory
C                                   G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
          Am                        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
        Am                           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                          Am
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am                                       F
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la 
Am                                       F
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la 


            C          F                               Am
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
     G         C         F                                 G
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
    Am                       G  C
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
         Am                       G  C
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
           G
Until the night...


              C                      F          G
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
     Am                     G   F
And finally drank away his memory
C                                   G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
          Am                         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
Am                       G        F 
Clinging to his picture for dear life
     C                               G
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
       F                          Am
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am                                       F   Am  F
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la
