Don't Tell Mamma Tabulatur von Gary Allan

G                                                          C                  G
I was headed north on highway five/ on a star-lit Sundaynight/ When a pick-up 
truck
                          D         G                                       C
flew by me out of control/ As I watched in my headlights/ He swerved left 
then back
G                                             D             G
right/ He never hit the brakes as he left the road/ I found him lying in the 
grass/
                  C            G                                           D            G 
 Among the steel and glass/ With an empty whiskey bottle by his side/ And 
through
                                    C                    G                     D        G
the blood and tears/ He whisperd in my ear/ A few last words just before he 
died/

chorus

Don't Tell Mamma I was drinkin'/ Lord knows her soul would never rest/ I 
can't leave
                           C                   G                         D     G
this world with Mamma thinkin' / I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath

G                                            C                             G   
I still think about that night/ and how that young man died/ And how others 
somtimes
                  D             G                             C             G
 pay for our mistakes/ The last thing on his mind/ As he left this world 
behind/ Was
                                   D                 G
knowing someone elses heart would break/   (repeat chorus)
