Tom : F
F
I was headed north on Highway Five
Bb
On a star-lit Sunday night
C C7
When a pick-up truck flew by me
F
out of control
F F7
As I watched in my headlights
Bb
He swerved left then back right
C C7
He never hit the brakes
F
As he left the road
F F7
I found him lying in the grass
Bb
Among the steel and glass
C C7
With an empty whiskey bottle
F
by his side
F F7
And through the blood and tears
Bb
He whispered in my ear
C C7
A few last words
F
just before he died
[Refrão]
F F7 Bb
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
F C C7
Lord 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
[Próxima Parte]
C F
I still think about that night
Bb
And how that young man died
C C7
And how others sometimes pay
F
for our mistakes
F F7
The last thing on his mind
Bb
As he left this world behind
C C7
Was knowing someone else's
F
heart would break
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
F F7 Bb
Don't tell Mama I was drinkin'
