[G] [C#] [Em] [G]
She [D] put him out [G] like the burning end of a midnight [Bm] cigarette
She [C#m] [D] broke his heart, [G] he spent his whole life trying [A] to forget
He [Bm] watched him drink his [A] pain [D] away, a little at a time
[Bm] But he never could get [A] drunk [D] enough to get her off his mind until [A] the night
He [D] put that bottle to his head and [A] pulled the trigger
He [Bm] finally drank away her [G] memories
[D] Life is short, but this time [A] it was bigger
[Bm] Than the strength he had to get up [G] off his knees
[D] Found him with his face down [A] in the pillow
With [Bm] a note that said, I'll [A] love her till [G] I die
[D] And when we buried him [A] beneath the willow
[G] The angel sang a whiskey [Bm] lullaby

Than [Bm] the strength she had to get up [G] off her knees
