Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss
Album: Mud On The Tires
Writers: Bill Anderson/Jon Randall
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

E 0-h2-2-0-------0-h2-2-0---0-h2-3-
B ---------3-2-0----------3--------
I play many more hammers and pulls than this, actually, for a little more legato feeling.
Or low, holding the Bm bar and fingering the notes:
D 2-h4-4-2-------2-h4-4-2---2-h4-5-
A ---------5-4-2----------5--------
Saw Jon Randall in concert two nights ago--- He seemed to do the latter. |
