Alison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby guitar chord

Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley Duet

Intro: Bm G

D G Bm

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette

A D G A

She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget

Bm A D

We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time

Bm A D

But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind

A

Until tonight...

Chorus 1:

D G A

He put that bottle to his head and 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 the pillow

Bm A G

With a note that said I'll love her til I die

D A

And when we buried him beneath the willow

G Bm

The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby

Bm G

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

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 get drunk enough to get him off her mind

A

Until the night...

Chorus 2:

D G A

She put that bottle to her head and 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 the 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 angel's sang a whiskey lullaby

Bm G Bm G

La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
