Verse 1
C
As we were dressing to go out
G
Our little girl and boy
Came in and asked if they
C
could go this time
We told them little girls and
F
Boys don't belong at parties
C
And that they should be in
G
bed asleep by nine
C
The babysitter came in then and
F
We kissed the kids goodbye
G
An_ d told them that we'd
be home soon
C
And told them not to cry
Interlude 1
C
Verse 2
C
Then we left for the party
G
Like we'd so often done
Thinkin' only of ourselves and
Not our little ones
C
The party started out wild an_ d it grew
Wilder as the night wore on
With drinking laughing
teling dirty jokes
F
Nobody thinkin' of home
C
Then the stranger feeling
came over me and
G
It chilled me to the bones
And I told my wife that
We'd better leave the party
C
'Cause I felt that
F
we were needed at home
As we rode along, i got to thinking of how
G
The kids that mornin'
Had asked if we would take them
To church the next day
C
And how I'd put 'em off
Am
Like I'd so often done
C
By sayin' we'd probably
G
get home too late
Then my thoughts were
interrupted by
The sound of sirens
C
As they cut through the still night air
Then we turned down our street
That's when we saw the fire
F
The rest was like a nightmare
G
We took their little bodies to
Church the next day
C
Though we'd left the party early we
Still got home too late
