Whiskey Lullaby

[Bm]   [G]

She put him[D] out like the [G]burning end of a midnight ciga[Bm]rette
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 en[A]ough[D] to get her off his mind
Until to[A]night...

He put that [D]bottle to his head and [G]pulled the [A]trigger
And [Bm]finally drank away her [A]memo[G]ry
[D]Life is short but this time it was b[A]igger
Than the [Bm]strength he had to get up [A]off his k[G]nees
They [D]found him with his face down in the p[A]illow
With a [Bm]note that said I'll love her [A]til I [G]die
And w[D]hen we buried him beneath the [A]willow
The [G]angel's sang a whiskey lull[Bm]aby
[Bm]La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la [G]la
[Bm]La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la [G]la

The rumors [D]flew but no[G]body knew how much she blamed he[Bm]rself
For [A]years and [D]years she [G]tried to hide the whiskey on her b[A]reath
She[Bm] finally drank her pain a[A]way[D] a little at a time
But she [Bm]never could get drunk eno[A]ugh[D] to get him off her mind
Until the [A]night...

She put that [D]bottle to her head and [G]pulled the [A]trigger
And [Bm]finally drank away his [A]memo[G]ry
[D]Life is short but this time it was b[A]igger
Than the [Bm]strength she had to get up [A]off her k[G]nees
We f[D]ound her with her face down in the pil[A]low
[Bm]Clinging to his picture f[A]or dear l[G]ife
We l[D]aid her next to him beneath the [A]willow
While [G]angel's sang a whiskey lull[Bm]aby
[Bm]La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la [G]la  [Bm]      [G]
