[Bm] INTRO: [Bm] [G]
She put him [D] out like the [G] burning end of a midnight cigar [Bm] ette
She [A] broke his [D] heart he [G] spent his whole life trying to for [A] get
We [Bm] watched him drink his pain a [A] way [D] a little at a time
But he [Bm] never could get drunk e [A] nough [D] to get her off his mind
Until to [A] night...
CHORUS #1:
He put that [D] bottle to his head and [G] pulled the [A] trigger
And [Bm] finally drank away her [A] memor [G] y
[D] Life is short but this time it was [A] bigger
Than the [Bm] strength he had to get up [A] off his [G] knees
They [D] found him with his face down in the [A] pillow
With a [Bm] note that said I'll love her [A] til I [G] die
And [D] when we buried him beneath the [A] willow
The [G] angel's sang a whiskey lulla [Bm] by
[Bm] La la la la la la la, [Bm] La la la la la la [G] la
[Bm] La la la la la la la, [Bm] La la la la la la [G] la
The rumors flew but [D] no body [G] knew how much she blamed her self [Bm]
For [A] years and [D] years she [G] tried to hide the whiskey on her [A] breath
She [Bm] finally drank her pain a [A] way [D] a little at a time
But she [Bm] never could get drunk e [A] nough [D] to get him off her mind
Until the [A] night...
CHORUS #2:
She put that bottle [D] to her head and pulled [G] the trigger [A]
And [Bm] finally drank away his [A] memor [G] y
[D] Life is short but this time it was [A] bigger
Than the [Bm] strength she had to get up [A] off her [G] knees
We [D] found her with her face down in the pil [A] low
[Bm] Clinging to his picture [A] for dear [G] life
We [D] laid her next to him beneath the [A] willow
While [G] angel's sang a whiskey lulla [Bm] by
[Bm] La la la la la la la, [Bm] La la la la la la [G] la
[Bm] [Bm] [G]
[Bm] La la la la la la la, [Bm] La la la la la la [G] la
