Gary Allan – Dont Tell Mama chords

--Don’t tell mama-- Gary Allan

F

FI was headed north on Highway Five
      BbOn a star-lit Sunday night
       C                  C7When a pick-up truck flew by me
          Fout of control

     F                  F7As I watched in my headlights
           BbHe swerved left then back right
          C              C7He never hit the brakes
           FAs he left the road

             F            F7 I found him lying in the grass
  BbAmong the steel and glass
        C            C7With an empty whiskey bottle
      Fby his side

     F                     F7And through the blood and tears
     BbHe whispered in my ear
   C               C7A few last words
             Fjust before he died


F          F7          Bb  Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
      F                         C     C7Lord knows her soul would never rest
F                F7             Bb   I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
  C           C7                  F        I met the Lord  with whiskey on my breath


C   F

         F                I still think about that night
    BbAnd how that young man died
        C           C7And how others sometimes pay
            Ffor our mistakes

    F                  F7The last thing on his mind
       Bb As he left this world behind
     C               C7Was knowing someone else's
             Fheart would break

F          F7           Bb  Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
      F                        C     C7Lord knows her soul would never rest
F                F7              Bb   I can't leave this world with Mama thinkin'
  C           C7                  F        I met the Lord  with whiskey on my breath


F          F7          Bb Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
