Chords for Frankie Ballard - Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinking Lyrics

_ _ _ I was headed north on Highway 5 [G#] on a starlit Sunday night
_ [C#] When a pickup truck [G#] flew by me out of [F#] control _ _ _
_ As I watched in my headlights, he [B] swerved left and then back right
_ [C#] Never hit the brakes [B]
as he left [F#] the road _ _ _
_ _ Found him lying in the grass, [B] with a ball of steel and glass
_ [C#] With an empty whiskey [B]
bottle by [F#] his side _ _ _
_ _ _ Through the blood and tears, [B] he _ whispered in my ear
A [C#] few last [B] words just before [F#] he died
_ _ [D#m] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ Don't tell mama I [B] was drinking _ _
_ _ [F#] Lord knows that her soul would [C#] never rest _ _ _
_ _ _ I can't leave this world with my [B] mama thinking _ _
_ _ [C#] I met the Lord [B] with whiskey on [F#] my breath
I _ _ _ still think about that night, _ _ [B] _ how that young man died
And [C#] how others [B] sometimes pay for [F#] our mistakes _ _
_ _ The last thing on his mind, _ [B] as he left this world _ behind
Was [C#] _ knowing [B] someone else's heart [F#] would break _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ Don't tell mama I [B] was drinking _ _
_ _ [F#] Lord knows that her soul would [C#] never rest _ _
_ _ _ [F#] I can't leave this world with my [B] mama thinking _ _ _
_ _ [C#] I met the [B] Lord with whiskey [F#] on my breath _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ Give _
_ [D#m] _ me [F#] love _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _

[D#m] _ _ [F#] Lord knows that her soul would [C#] never rest _ _

I _ _ _ [F#] met _ [C#] _ the [B] Lord, whiskey on [F#] my breath. _ _ _
_ _ [C#] I met the Lord, [B]
whiskey on [F#] my breath. _ _
