Brad Paisley
Whiskey Lullaby
Carter Style
D G Bm
She put him out, like the burning end of midnight cigarette,
A D G A
She broke his heart, he spent his whole life trying to forget,
Bm A D
We watched drink his pain away, a little at a time
Bm A D
But he never could drunk enough, to get her off his mind
A
Until tonight
D G A
He put that bottle to his head and he pulled the trigger
Bm A G
And finally drank away her memory
D A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Bm A G
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
D A
They found him with his face down in a pillow
Bm A G
With a note that said, “I’ll love her til I die.”
D A
And when they buried him beneath the willow,
G Bm
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby,
Bm G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la la
Bm G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la la
D G Bm
The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
A D G A
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
Bm A D
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time
Bm A D
But she never could drunk enough, to get her off his mind
A
Until tonight
D G A
She put that bottle to her head and she pulled the trigger
Bm A G
And finally drank away his memory
D A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Bm A G
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
D A
We found her with her face down in a pillow
Bm A G
Clinging to his picture for dear life
D A
We laid her next to him beneath the willow,
G Bm
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby,
Bm G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la la
Bm G
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la la
