Whiskey Lullaby

     Intro: Bm   G

                D             G                             Bm
     She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
         A         D        G                                 A
     She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying 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 tonight...


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

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

     Chorus 2
     [ She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger ]
     [ And finally drank away his memory                      ]
     [ 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                  ]
     [ We laid her next to him beneath the willow             ]
     [ While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby                   ]
     [ La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la            ]
