Whiskey Lullaby Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][F][F]

[Verse 1]
She put him [C]out
like the [F]burnin' end of a midnight ciga[Am]rette
She [G]broke his [C]heart,
he [F]spent his whole life tryin' to for[G]get

[Pre-chorus 1]
We [Am]watched him drink his pain a[G]way
a [C]little at a time
But he [Am]never could get drunk [G]enough
to [C]get her off his mind
[G]Until the night

[Chorus 1]
He put that [C]bottle to his head
and pulled the [G]trigger
And [Am]finally drank away her memo[F]ry
[C]Life is short, but this time it was [G]bigger
Than the [Am]strength he had
to get up off his [F]knees
We [C]found him with his face down in the [G]pillow
With a [Am]note that said, "I'll love her 'til I [F]die"
And [C]when we buried him beneath the [G]willow
The [F]angels sang a whiskey lulla[Am]by
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, [F]la
[Am]La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, [F]la

[Verse 2]
The rumors [C]flew but no[F]body knew
how much she blamed her[Am]self
For [G]years and [C]years
she [F]tried to hide the whiskey on her [G]breath

[Pre-chorus 2]
She [Am]finally drank her pain a[G]way
a [C]little at a time
But she [Am]never could get drunk [G]enough
to [C]get him off her mind
[G]Until the night

[Chorus 2]
She put that [C]bottle to her head
and pulled the [G]trigger
And [Am]finally drank away his memo[F]ry
[C]Life is short, but this time it was [G]bigger
Than the [Am]strength she had
to get up off her [F]knees
We [C]found her with her face down in the [G]pillow
[Am]Clinging to his picture for dear [F]life
We [C]laid her next to him beneath the [G]willow
While the [F]angels sang a whiskey lullaby

[Outro 1]

La, la, la, la, la, la, [Am]la
La, la, la, la, la, la, [F]la
