[Intro] 
BmG
[Verse] 
DGBm She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
ADGA She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
BmA/C# D We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
BmA/C#D But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
A Until the night...
 [Chorus] 
DGA He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
BmAG And finally drank away her memory
DA Life is short but this time it was bigger
BmAG Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
DA They found him with his face down in the pillow
BmAG With a note that said I'll love her till I die
DA And when we buried him beneath the willow
GBm The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
 [Post Chorus] 
BmG La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
BmG La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
 [Verse 2] 
DGBm The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
ADGA For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
BmA/C# D She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
BmA/C#D But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
A Until the night...
 [Chorus] 
DGA She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
BmAG And finally drank away his memory
DA Life is short but this time it was bigger
BmAG Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
DA We found her with her face down in the pillow
BmAG Clinging to his picture for dear life
DA We laid her next to him beneath the willow
GBm While angels sang a whiskey lullaby
