[Bm]INTRO: [Bm] [G]
She put him [D]out like the [G]burning end of a midnight cigar [Bm]ette
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 e [A]nough [D]to get her off his mind
Until to [A]night...
CHORUS #1:
He put that [D]bottle to his head and [G]pulled the [A]trigger
And [Bm]finally drank away her [A]memor [G]y
[D]Life is short but this time it was [A]bigger
Than the [Bm]strength he had to get up [A]off his [G]knees
They [D]found him with his face down in the [A]pillow
With a [Bm]note that said I'll love her [A]til I [G]die
And [D]when we buried him beneath the [A]willow
The [G]angel's sang a whiskey lulla [Bm]by
[Bm]La la la la la la la, [Bm]La la la la la la [G]la
[Bm]La la la la la la la, [Bm]La la la la la la [G]la
The rumors flew but [D]no body [G]knew how much she blamed her self [Bm]
For [A]years and [D]years she [G]tried to hide the whiskey on her [A]breath
She [Bm]finally drank her pain a [A]way [D]a little at a time
But she [Bm]never could get drunk e [A]nough [D]to get him off her mind
Until the [A]night...
CHORUS #2:
She put that bottle [D]to her head and pulled [G]the trigger [A]
And [Bm]finally drank away his [A]memor [G]y
[D]Life is short but this time it was [A]bigger
Than the [Bm]strength she had to get up [A]off her [G]knees
We [D]found her with her face down in the pil [A]low
[Bm]Clinging to his picture [A]for dear [G]life
We [D]laid her next to him beneath the [A]willow
While [G]angel's sang a whiskey lulla [Bm]by
