Verse 1 (Brad): 
Ds G Bm 
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette 
A D G A 
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget 
Bm A D 
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time 
Bm A D 
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind 
A
Until the night... 
Chorus 1 (Brad&Allison): 
D G A
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger 
Bm A G 
And finally drank away her memory 
D A 
Life is short but this time it was bigger 
Bm A G 
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees 
D  
They found him with his face in the pillow 
Bm A 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 angel's sang a whiskey lullaby 
Bm G 
La La La La La La La, La La La La La La La 
Bm G 
La La La La La La La, La La La La La La La 
Verse 2 (Allison): 
D G Bm 
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself 
A D G A 
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath 
Bm A D 
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time 
Bm A D 
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind 
A 
Until the night... 
Chorus 2 (Brad&Allison): 
D G A 
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger 
Bm A G 
And finally drank away his memory 
D A 
Life is short but this time it was bigger 
Bm A 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 A G 
Clinging to his picture for dear life 
D A 
We laid her next to him beneath the willow 
G Bm 
While the angel's sang a whiskey lullaby 
Bm G 
La La La La La La La, La La
