Chords for Frankie Ballard - "Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinking" (Official Audio)

_ I was headed north on Highway 5 [G#] on a starlit Sunday night
[C#] When a pickup truck flew by me out [F#] of control _ _ _ _ _
As I watched in my _ headlights, [B] he swerved left and then back right
[C#] Never hit the [B] brakes as he [F#] left the road
I _ _ _ found him lying in the grass, _ [B] the morning steel and glass
[C#] With an empty [B] whiskey 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
_ _ _ And he said, _ don't tell mama I [B] was drinking _ _ _ _
[F#] Lord knows that her soul will [C#] never end _ _ _ _
[F#] _ I can't leave this world with my [B] mama thinking
_ _ _ [F#] _
[C#] But I met the [B] Lord with whiskey on [F#] my breath
I _ _ _ _ still think about that night, _
_ [B] _ how that young man died _
[C#] And how others [B] sometimes pay [F#] for our mistakes _ _ _ _
The last thing on his mind as [B] he left this world _ behind
[C#] Was knowing [B] someone else's heart [F#] would break
_ _ _ [D#m] And he [F#] said, _ don't tell mama I [B] was drinking _ _ _ _
[F#] Lord knows that her soul will [C#] never end _ _ _ _
_ [F#] I can't leave this world [C#] with my [B] mama thinking _ _ _ _
[C#] But I met the [B] Lord with whiskey on [F#] my breath
_ _ [D#m] Oh, oh, [B] oh, oh, _ yeah, _ [D#m] _ _
_ [F#] yeah, oh
Oh, _
[C#] _ _ oh, oh, [B] oh, [F#] oh, oh _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Don't tell mama I [B] was drinking
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
[F#] Lord knows that her soul will [C#] never end
_ _ [G#] _ _
[F#] I can't leave this world with my [B] mama thinking
But _ _ _ [C#] I met the [B] Lord with whiskey [F#] on my breath _ _ _ _ _
