Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby

standard tuning . ( eadgbe )

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 tonight . . .

chorus 1 :
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 A
they found him with his face down in the pillow
Bm A G
with a note that said i’ll love her til 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

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 :
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 angel’s sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm G Bm G
la la la la la la la , la la la la la la la
repeat to fade
