Whiskey Lullaby
Brad Paisley
[Verse 1]
C F C Am
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
G F G
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
F C G Am
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
F C G Am
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
G
Until the night
[Chorus 1]
C F G
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
Am G F
And finally drank away her memory
C F G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Am G F
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
C F G
We found him with his face down in the pillow
Am G F
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
C F G
And when we buried him beneath the willow
Am F Am
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Am F
la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
C F C Am
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
G F G
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
F C G Am
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
F C G Am
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
G
Until the night
[Chorus 2]
C F G
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
Am G F
And finally drank away his memory
C F G
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Am G F
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
C F G
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Am G F
Clinging to his picture for dear life
C F G
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
Am F Am
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
[Outro]
Am F
la la la la la la la la la
I needed to change this to a key that better fit my voice. Then added some cord changes
in the original that I was using. This sounds right to me, but I am new at this, so if
has any additional suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them. Bubba55
