Artist: Brad Paisley / Alison Krauss
( I prefer to pick this song, to get the hammer-on and pull-off effects with the D chord
 and the little walkdown from the Bm to the G, but it plays just fine strumming it too.)

Intro: Bm  G

                   D               Bm
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
                   D                  G                                         A
She broke his heart: He spent his whole life trying to forget.
       Bm                                               D
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
         Bm                                             D
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
  A
Until the night:
                   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 lullabye.
Bm
La la la la la la la
                      G      Bm
La la la la la la la.
Bm
La la la la la la la,
                      G
La la la la la la la.


                      D             Bm
The room was full but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
                      D             G                                            A
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
       Bm                                       D
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time,
            Bm                                           D
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind.
     A
Until the night:
                   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 lullabye.
Bm
La la la la la la la
                      G      Bm
La la la la la la la.
Bm
La la la la la la la,
                      G
La la la la la la la.
Bm....         G     Bm

Bm
La la la la la la la
                      G
La la la la la la la.

(no chords)
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
