Whiskey Lullaby chords by Brad Paisley

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
G               C          Em
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
G           C                D
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
Em                   C
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
    Em               C
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
     D
Until the night

Chorus 1:
  G                       D
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
   Em            C
And finally drank away her memory
 G                 D
Life is short but this time it was bigger
      Em               C
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
 G                    D
We found him with his face down in the pillow
 Em                    C
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
G                  D
And when we buried him beneath the willow
    C           Em
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
 Em             C
la la la la la la la lalalalala
 Em             C
la la la la la la la lalalalala


Verse 2:

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


Chorus 2:

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

 Em             C
