Whiskey Lullaby Chords

[Verse 1]
             D            G      
She put him out like the burnin' 
                   Bm
end of a midnight cigarette
       A        D        G   
She broke his heart he spent 
                           A
his whole life tryin' to forget
    Bm                         A   
We watched him drink his pain away 
    D
a little at a time
       Bm                      A    
But he never could get drunk enough 
    D
to get her off his mind
          A
Until the night
 
 
[Chorus 1]
             D                                  A
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
     Bm                        G
And finally drank away her memory
 D                                  A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
            Bm                             G
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
      D                                  A
We found him with his face down in the pillow
  Bm                                        G
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
      D                              A
And when we buried him beneath the willow
       G                      Bm
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
 
  Bm                         G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 Bm                          G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 
 
[Verse 2]
      D                G        
The rumors flew but nobody knew 
                       Bm
how much she blamed herself
     A          D         G           
For years and years she tried to hide 
                     A
the whiskey on her breath
     Bm                      A  
She finally drank her pain away 
    D
a little at a time
        Bm                      A    
But she never could get drunk enough 
    D
to get him off her mind
           A
Until the night
 
 
[Chorus 2]
              D                                 A
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
     Bm                        G
And finally drank away his memory
 D                                  A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
          Bm                                 G
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
    D                                   A
We found her with her face down in the pillow
 Bm                               G
clinging to his picture for dear life
    D                                A
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
           G                         Bm
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

 Bm                         G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 Bm                         G
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 Bm                             
la la la la la la la lalalalala
