Whiskey Lullaby

             D            G       
She put him out like the burnin' 
                  Bm
end of a midnight cigarette
       A        D        G       
She broke his heart he spent his 
                       A
whole life tryin' to forget
    Bm                         A  
We watched him drink his pain away
     D
 a little at a time
       Bm                      A  
But he never could get drunk 
      D
enough to get her off his mind
          A
Until the night


[Chorus 1]
             D                     
He put that bottle to his head and 
             A
pulled the trigger
     Bm                        G
And finally drank away her memory
 D                                 
Life is short but this time it was 
 A
bigger
            Bm                     
Than the strength he had to get up 
        G
off his knees
      D                            
We found him with his face down in 
      A
the pillow
  Bm                               
With a note that said I'll love her
         G
 till I die
      D                            
And when we buried him beneath the 
  A
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


[Verse 2]
      D                G          
The rumors flew but nobody knew 
                     Bm
how much she blamed herself
     A          D         G      
For years and years she tried to 
                          A
hide the whiskey on her breath
     Bm                      A    
She finally drank her pain away a 
  D
little at a time
        Bm                      A 
But she never could get drunk 
       D
enough to get him off her mind
           A
Until the night


[Chorus 2]
              D                    
She put that bottle to her head and
             A
 pulled the trigger
     Bm                        G
And finally drank away his memory
 D                                 
Life is short but this time it was 
 A
bigger
          Bm                       
Than the strength she had to get up
          G
 off her knees
    D                              
We found her with her face down in 
     A
the pillow
 Bm                             
clinging to his picture for dear 
  G
life
    D                              
We laid her next to him beneath the
  A
 willow
           G                   
While the angels sang a whiskey 
      Bm
lullaby


[Interlude]
 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)
la la la la la la la lalalalala
