Intro
Bm G
Verse 1
She put him D out like the G burning end of a midnight cigaBmrette
She A broke his D heart he G spent his whole life trying to forAget
We Bm watched him drink his pain aAway D a little at a time
But he Bm never could get drunk eAnough to D get her off his mind
Until toAnight...
Chorus
He put that D bottle to his head and G pulled the A trigger
And Bm finally drank away her A memoGry
D Life is short but this time it was A bigger
Than the Bm strength he had to get up A off his G knees
They D found him with his face down in the A pillow
With a Bm note that said I'll love her A til I G die
And D when we buried him beneath the A willow
The G angel's sang a whiskey lullBmaby
Bm La la la la la la la, La la la la la la G la
Bm La la la la la la la, La la la la la la G la
Verse 2
The rumors D flew but noGbody knew how much she blamed her Bm self
For A years and D years she G tried to hide the whiskey on her A breath
She Bm finally drank her pain aAway a D little at a time
But she Bm never could get drunk eAnough to D get him off her mind
Until the A night...
Chorus
He put that D bottle to his head and G pulled the A trigger
And Bm finally drank away her A memoGry
D Life is short but this time it was A bigger

Bm La la la la la la la, La la la la la la G la
Bm La la la la la la la, La la la la la la G la
