VERSE 1: 
 
            G            C                             Em 
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette 
              G        C                                 D 
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget 
    Em                        D       G 
We watched him drink away his pain, a little at a time 
       Em                     D        G 
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind 
      D 
Until the night 
 
 
CHORUS: 
            G                                 D 
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger 
     Em                   D   C 
And finally blew away her memory 
G                                  D 
Life is short but this time it was bigger 
         Em                        D       C 
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees 
     G                                   D 
They found him with his face down in the pillow 
       Em                                 C 
With a note that said I'll love her til I die 
    G                                D 
And when they buried him beneath the willow 
    C                           Em 
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby 
Em                                       C 
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la  
Em                                       C 
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la  
 
 
VERSE 2: 
            G         C                                Em 
The rumors flew but nobody knew just how she blamed herself 
              G         C                                D 
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath 
    Em                     D       G 
She finally drank away her pain, a little at a time 
        Em                    D         G 
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind 
          D 
Until the night 
 
 
CHORUS 2: 
             G                                 D 
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger 
         Em                    D   C 
Then she finally blew away his memory 
G                                  D 
Life is short but this time it was bigger 
         Em                                 C 
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees 
   G                                   D 
We found her with her face down in the pillow 
Em                               C 
Clinging to his picture for dear life 
     G                                D 
They laid her next to him beneath the willow 
      C                           Em 
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby 
Em                                       C  REPEAT 4x's and FADE 
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la
