Don't Tell Mama chords by Gary Allan

Chords with lyrics

FF

FF
I was headed north on Highway Five
   Bb majorBb
On a star-lit Sunday night
    C majorC         C7C7
When a pick-up truck flew by me
     FF
out of control

   FF         F7F7
As I watched in my headlights
      Bb majorBb
He swerved left then back right
     C majorC       C7C7
He never hit the brakes
      FF
As he left the road

       FF      F7F7
I found him lying in the grass
 Bb majorBb
Among the steel and glass
    C majorC      C7C7
With an empty whiskey bottle
   FF
by his side

   FF           F7F7
And through the blood and tears
   Bb majorBb
He whispered in my ear
  C majorC        C7C7
A augmentedA few last words
       FF
just before he died


FF     F7F7     Bb majorBb
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
   FF             C majorC   C7C7
Lord knows her soul would never rest
FF        F7F7       Bb majorBb
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
 C majorC      C7C7         FF
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath


C majorC  FF

     FF
I still think about that night
  Bb majorBb
And how that young man died
    C majorC      C7C7
And how others sometimes pay
      FF
for our mistakes

  FF         F7F7
The last thing on his mind
    Bb majorBb
As he left this world behind
   C majorC        C7C7
Was knowing someone else's
       FF
heart would break

FF     F7F7      Bb majorBb
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
   FF            C majorC   C7C7
Lord knows her soul would never rest
FF        F7F7       Bb majorBb
I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
 C majorC      C7C7         FF
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath


FF     F7F7     Bb majorBb
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin
