She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
Am G F
And finally drank away her memory
C G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Am G F
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

They found him with his face down in the pillow
Am G F
With a note that said I'll love her til I die
C G
And when we buried him beneath the willow

The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
Am F
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
