G5 G5 E5 C5
Tommy found his daddy?s gun And Joey had never seen one
G5 D5
Real cowboy all dressed up As he held it in his hand
G5 G5 E5 C5
Said, "You be good and I?ll be bad" Then he pulled the trigger back
G5 C5 D5 G5
Stopped little Tommy in his tracks And said, "Get up, man"
E5 C5 D5 G5
People came from miles to say goodbye To the Wilsons youngest son
C5 G5 D5 D5
His innocent life had just begun
CHORUS
C5 D5 G5 C5 D5 G5
Its not supposed to go like that Its not intended to end that way
C5 D5 G5 E5 C5 E5
Life is a journey constantly turning Down an unknown path
Bflat A5 G5
But its not supposed to go like that
REPEAT FIRST PART OF INTRO
G5 G5 E5 C5
Jimmy had his daddys car And the keys to Jennys heart
G5 D5
A fifth of whiskey on the floorboard Almost gone
G5 G5 E5 C5
Havin the time of their life Had only one thing on their mind
G5 C5 D5 G5
Never saw the flashin lights Or the train comin on
E5 C5 D5 G5
Now theres a wreath and two small crosses On the right side of the road
C5 G5 D5 D5
Reminders of a love that wont grow
REPEAT CHORUS
C5 C5 A5 D5 G5
I wonder if guardian angels cry When they see it all played out
C5 C5 Bflat D5 D5
And as they stand with their hands tied Oh, do they cry out loud
Bflat A5 G5 Bflat A5 G5
Its not supposed to go like that No, its not supposed to go like that
Bflat A5 G5 Bflat A5 G5
No, its not supposed to go like that No, its not supposed to go like that
Bflat A5 G5
No, no, no, its not supposed to go like that
