Bm   G
[Verse]
She put him Dout like the bGurning end of a midnight cigarBmette
She bAroke his hDeart he sGpent his whole life trying to forgAet
We Bmwatched him drink his pain awA/C#ay a Dlittle at a time
But he Bmnever could get drunk enoA/C#ugh to Dget her off his mind
Until the Anight...
[Chorus]
He put that bDottle to his head and pGulled the tArigger
And fBminally drank away her mAemorGy
DLife is short but this time it was bAigger
Than the sBmtrength he had to get up oAff his knGees
They fDound him with his face down in the piAllow
With a nBmote that said I'll love her tAill I dGie
And whDen we buried him beneath the wAillow
The aGngels sang a whiskey lullaBmby

[Intro]

Bm G

[Verse]

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/C# D

We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time

Bm A/C# D

But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind

Until the night...

[Chorus]

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 till I die

D A

And when we buried him beneath the willow

G Bm

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

[Post Chorus]

La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la

But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind

Until the night...

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 angels sang a whiskey lullaby
