Whiskey Lullaby

Intro: Am   F

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


             C                     
He put that bottle to his head and 
 F          G
pulled the trigger
     Am                     G   F
And finally drank away her memory
C                                 
Life is short but this time it was
  G
 bigger
          Am                       
Than the strength he had to get up 
 G        F
off his knees

      C                            
They found him with his face down 
        G
in the pillow
        Am                         
With a note that said I'll love her
  G     F
 til I die
      C                            
And when we buried him beneath the 
 G
willow
     F                          Am
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am                                
La la la la la la la,  La la la la
       F
 la la la
Am                                
La la la la la la la,  La la la la
       F
 la la la


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


              C                    
She put that bottle to her head and
  F          G
 pulled the trigger
     Am                     G   F
And finally drank away his memory
C                                 
Life is short but this time it was
  G
 bigger
          Am                       
Than the strength she had to get up
  G        F
 off her knees
     C                             
We found her with her face down in 
        G
the pillow
Am                       G    
Clinging to his picture for dear 
    F
life
     C                             
We laid her next to him beneath the
  G
 willow
       F                          Am
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am                                
La la la la la la la,  La la la la
       F   Am  F
