[G]
[D] She put him out
[E] [G] like the burning end of a midnight [Bm] cigarette.
[D] She broke his heart, he spent his whole life trying to [A] forget.
[F#] [Bm] He watched him drink his pain away [D] a little at a time.
[Bm] But he never could get drunk enough [D] to get her off his mind until [A] now.
He put [D] that bottle to his head and pulled the truth.
[Bm] He finally drank away her [G] memories.
[D] Her life is short, but this time it [A] was fate.
[Bm] And the strength he had to get her off [G] his [E] knees.
[D] He wrapped him with his face down [A] in the pillow.
[Bm] With a note that said, I'll love her till [G] I die.
[D] And then buried him [A] beneath the willow.
The [G] angel sang a whiskey [Bm] love song.
La-la-la, la-la-la [G]-la, la [Bm] -la-la-la, la [Bm]-la.
[G] The [D] moon was blue, [G] I know why she [Bm] blazed.
And now, for [D] years and years, [G] she tried to have whiskey on [A] her bread.
[A] [Bm] She'd find [D] a little lady, [Bm] but she'd never [D] forget him until [A] the night.
She'd [D] step onto the rail, [A] through the trees, [Bm] and finally break away his [G] memory.
[D] And I picture the time [A] it was, [Bm] that the strange man had hit her [G] off the loose.
[D] A girl with her face down [A] in the road,
[Bm] leaned to his creature [G] for a viewer.
[D] All the lady next to him, [A] and he, in the road,
[G] ran to say, whiskey, [Bm] love,
la, la, la.
La, la, la, [G] la, la, la, [Bm]
la.
