Whisky Lullaby by Brad Paisley


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

What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts


Intro - Em - D - Cadd9 = 2x's


Em7              D                       Cadd9
 I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house,
             D
That don't bother me,
Em7                D                          C
 I can take a few tears now and then and just let em out,
     D(no5)    Cadd9
I'm not       afraid to cry every once in awhile,
(D)         Em7                               (D)
even though goin on with you gone, still upsets me,
Cadd9
there are days every now and again, I pretend I'm ok,
              D
But that's a not what gets me


(Chorus)
Em                  D - Cadd9
   What hurts the most,      was being so close,
G                          C-D
 and having so much to say,    and watching you walk away,
Em                D - Cadd9
   And never knowin',        what could've been,
G                         Dsus4         D             Em7 - D - Cadd9
 And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do

Em7                            D                     Cadd9
   It's hard to deal with the pain of losin you everywhere I go,
          D
But I'm doin' it,
Em7                          D                       Cadd9
   It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone,
        D
Still harder,
Cadd9                                 (D)
gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret,
    Em7                      (D)   Cadd9
But I know if I could do it over,     I would trade, give away
                                                 D
all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken


(Chorus)
Em                  D - Cadd9
   What hurts the most,      is being so close,
G                         C-D
 and having so much to say,   and watching you walk away,
Em                D - Cadd9
   And never knowin',        what could've been,
G                         Dsus4         D              C-D-C-
 And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do


                        Hey
(lead - Em - D - Cadd9  -  Em - D - Cadd9)


(Chorus)
Em                  D - Cadd9
   What hurts the most,      was being so close,
G                           C   D                             D#m - Em <--walk
 and having so much to say,(to say)  and watching you walk away,
Em                D - Cadd9
   And never knowin',        what could've been,
G                     C    D                   G      Cadd9
 And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do,
                          D                              Em7 - D - Cadd9 = 2x's
And not seein that lovin you, That's what I was tryin to do.

Sweet Child Of Mine by Gun's and Roses


 D
 She's got a smile that it seems to me 
 Cadd9
Reminds me of childhood memories
 GD
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
 D
 Now and then when I see her face
 Cadd9
she takes me away to that special place
 GD
and if I stay too long I'd probably break down and cry

 ABCD
 Oh oh oh oh sweet child of mine
 ABCD
 Oh oh oh oh sweet child of mine

 D
 She's got eyes of the bluest sky
 Cadd9
as if they thought of rain
 GD
hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
 D
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
 Cadd9
where as a child I'd hide
 GD
and pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

 ABCD
 Oh oh oh oh sweet child of mine
 ABCD
 Oh oh oh oh sweet child of mine
