Tone: [Bm]
Intro:
[Bm] [G]
She put him [D]out like the b[G]burning end of a midnight cigar[Bm]cigarette
She b[A]roke his h[D]eart he s[G]pent his whole life trying to forg[A]et
We w[Bm]watched him drink his pain aw[A]away [D]a little at a time
But he [Bm]never could get drunk eno[A]enough [D]to get her off his mind
Until ton[A]tonight...
He put that b[D]ottle to his head and p[G]ulled the t[A]rigger
And f[Bm]inally drank away her m[A]emor[G]y
[D]Life is short but this time it was b[A]bigger
Than the s[Bm]trength he had to get up o[A]ff his kn[G]ees
They f[D]found him with his face down in the pi[A]pillow
With a n[Bm]ote that said I'll love her t[A]il I d[G]ie
And wh[D]when we buried him beneath the w[A]willow
The a[G]angel's sang a whiskey lulla[Bm]lullaby
[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 f[D]lew but nob[G]ody knew how much she blamed her[Bm]self
For y[A]ears and y[D]ears she t[G]ried to hide the whiskey on her br[A]eath
She [Bm]finally drank her pain aw[A]away [D]a little at a time
But she n[Bm]never could get drunk enou[A]enough [D]to get him off her mind
Until the n[A]night...
She put that b[D]ottle to her head and p[G]ulled the t[A]rigger
And f[Bm]inally drank away his m[A]emor[G]y
[D]Life is short but this time it was b[A]bigger
Than the s[Bm]trength she had to get up o[A]ff her kn[G]ees
We fo[D]found her with her face down in the pill[A]pillow
[Bm]Clinging to his picture f[A]for dear l[G]life
We la[D]laid her next to him beneath the w[A]willow
While a[G]angel's sang a whiskey lulla[Bm]lullaby
[Bm]La la la la la la la, La la la la la la [G]la [Bm] [G]
