Ty Herndon - Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinkin guitar tab

CAPO I

Verse 1

F

I was headed north on highway 5

A#

On a starlit summer night

C F

When a pickup truck flew by me out of control

F

As I watched in my headlights

A#

He swerved left and then back right

C F

He never hit the brakes as he left the road

Verse 2

I found him lying in the grass

Among the steel and glass

With an empty whisky bottle by his side

Through the blood tears

He whispered in my ear

A few last words just before he died

Chorus

F A#

Dont tell mama I was drinkin

F C

Lord knows her soul would never rest

F A#

I cant leave this world with mama thinkin

C F

That I met the lord with whiskey on my breath

Verse3

I still think about that night

And how that young man died

And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes

The last thing on his mind

As he left this world behind

Was knowing someone elses heart would break

Chorus
