CAPO 3
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
She put him Gout like the Cburning end of a midnight cigaEmrette
She broke his Gheart he Cspent his whole life trying to forDget
We wEmatched him drink away his Dpain, a Glittle at a time
But he Emnever could get drunk eDnough to Gget her off his mind
Until Dthe night
[Chorus]
He put that Gbottle to his head and pulled the Dtrigger
And fEminally blew away her DmemoCry
GLife is short but this time it was Dbigger
Than the Emstrength he had to get up Doff his Cknees
They Gfound him with his face down in the Dpillow
With a Emnote that said I'll love her til I Cdie
And Gwhen they buried him beneath the Dwillow
The Cangel's sang a whiskey lullaEmby
EmLa la la la la la la,  La la la la la la Cla 
EmLa la la la la la la,  La la la la la la Cla 
[Verse 2]
The rumors fGlew but noCbody knew just how she blamed herEmself
For years and Gyears she Ctried to hide the whiskey on her Dbreath
She Emfinally drank away her Dpain, a Glittle at a time
But she Emnever could get drunk Denough to Gget him off her mind
Until the Dnight
[Chorus 2]
She put that Gbottle to her head and pulled the Dtrigger
Then she Emfinally blew away his DmemoCry
GLife is short but this time it was Dbigger
Than the Emstrength she had to get up off her Cknees
We Gfound her with her face down in the Dpillow
EmClinging to his picture for dear Clife
They Glaid her next to him beneath the Dwillow
While Cangel's sang a whiskey lullaEmby
EmLa la la la la la la,  La la la la la la Cla

CAPO 3

[Intro]

[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

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]

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

Until the night

[Chorus 2]

Then she finally blew away his memory

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

Clinging to his picture for dear life

They laid her next to him beneath the willow

While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
