Tom : Am
Intro: Am F
C F Am
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
G C F G
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
Am G C
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
Am G C
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
G
Until tonight...
C F G
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
C G
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
F Am
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am F
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
C F Am
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
G C F G
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
Am G C
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
Am G C
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
G
Until the night...
C F G
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
Am G F
And finally drank away his memory
C G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Am G F
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
C G
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Am G F
Clinging to his picture for dear life
C G
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
F Am
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Am F Am F
