Whiskey Lullaby
Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss



[Intro]  Bmx2   Gx2   Stop


                      D            Gx2                                Bm       A          D
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart
     G                                  A           Bm                              A      Dx2
He spent his whole life trying to forget, we watched him drink his pain away a little
                                Bm                      A          D                                A
 At a time, But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind until tonight...



[Chorus]
                    D                                   G          A             Bm                   A      G
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger, and finally drank away her memory
D                                       A                  Bm                          A      G
Life is short but this time it was bigger, than the strength he had to get up off his knees
          D                                            A              Bm                            A   G
They found him with his face down in the pillow, with a note that said I'll love her til I die
         D                                        A           G                              Bmx2
 And when we buried him beneath the willow, the angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
                                          G  Bmx2                                  G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la



                    D           Gx2                                      Bm         A          D
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years
        G                                      A            Bm                                        A  D
She tried to hide the whiskey on her breath, She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
              Bm                       A           D                                    A
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind Until the night...





[Chorus]
                     D                                   G          A             Bm                   A      G
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger, and finally drank away his memory
D                                       A                  Bm                          A      G
Life is short but this time it was bigger, than the strength she had to get up off her knees
          D                                            A    Bm                            A   G
We found her with her face down in the pillow, Clinging to his picture for dear life
         D                                        A           G                              Bmx2
We laid her next to him beneath the willow While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
                                         G    Bmx2    G     Bmx2                                  G
