Intro 1

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 
And told them that we'd
be home soon
C 
And told them not to cry

Interlude 1

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
