Intro: G
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
