Interlude 1

Verse 2
C 
Then we left  (C major) for the party
G 
Like we'd so often  (G major) done
Thinkin' only of ourselves and
Not our little ones
C 
The party started out wild  (C major) an d it grew
Wilder as the night wore on
With drinking laughing
teling dirty jokes
F 
Nobody  (F major) thinkin' of home
C 
Then the stranger  (C major) feeling
came over me and
G 
It chilled me to the bones  (G major) 
And I told my wife that
We'd better leave the party
C 
 (C major) 'Cause I felt that
F 
we were needed at home  (F major) 
As we rode along, i got to thinking of how
G 
The  (G major) kids that mornin'
Had asked if we would take them
To church the next day
C 
And  (C major) how I'd put 'em off
Am 
Like I'd so often done  (A minor) 
C 
 (C major) By sayin' we'd probably
G 
get home too late  (G major) 
Then my thoughts were
interrupted by
The sound of sirens
C 
As they cut through the still night air  (C major) 
Then we turned down our street
That's when we saw the fire
F 
 (F major) The rest was like a nightmare
G 
 (G major) We took their little bodies to
Church the next day
C 
Though we'd left the party early  (C major) we
Still got home too late
