Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss - "Whiskey Lullaby (CRD)"

Artist: Brad Paisley / Alison Krauss
( I prefer to pick this song, to get the hammer-on and pull-off effects with the D chord
and the little walkdown from the Bm to the G, but it plays just fine strumming it too.)

Intro: Bm G

D Bm
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
D G A
She broke his heart: He spent his whole life trying to forget.
Bm D
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
Bm D
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
A
Until the night:
D A
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
Bm G
And finally drank away her memory.
D A
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Bm G
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
D A
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
Bm G
With a note that said: "I'll love her till I die."
D A
And when we buried him beneath the willow,
G Bm
The angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
Bm
La la la la la la la
G Bm
La la la la la la la.
Bm
La la la la la la la,
G
La la la la la la la.

D Bm
The room was full but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
D G A
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
Bm D
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time,
Bm D
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind.
A
Until the night:
D A
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
Bm G
And finally drank away his memory.
D A
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Bm 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 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 lullabye.
Bm
La la la la la la la
G Bm
La la la la la la la.
Bm
La la la la la la la,
G
La la la la la la la.
Bm.... G Bm

Bm
La la la la la la la
G
La la la la la la la.

(no chords)
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
