Whiskey Lullaby
Recorded by Brad Paisley with Alison Krauss
Written by Bill Anderson and Jon Randall

C           G7           C                             Em
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
              G7       C                              D7
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
   Em                    D7          G7
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
       Em              D7
But he never could get drunk enough 
   G7                             D7
To get her off his mind until the night

            G7                                D7
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
    Em                         C
And finally drank away her memory
G7                                 D7
Life is short but this time it was bigger
         Em                                C
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

   G7                                  D7
We found him with his face down in the pillow
       Em                                  C
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
    G7                             D7
And when we buried him beneath the willow
    C                          Em
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby


La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la
Em
La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la

           G7         C                                Em
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
    D7        G7        C                                D7
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
    Em                     D7     G7
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
        Em                    D7
But she never could get drunk enough 
   G7                             D7
To get him off her mind until the night

             G7                                D7
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
    Em                         C
And finally drank away his memory
G7                                 D7
Life is short but this time it was bigger
         Em                                 C
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

   G7                                  D7
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Em                      D7       C
Clinging to his picture for dear life
   G7                               D7
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
          C                          Em
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby


La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la
Em
La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la
