Song:The Accident

Intro:(C) (G) (D) (G)

(G)Last night I saw an accident on the co(C)rner of the Third and Gr(G)een

Two cars collided and I got excited

J(A7)ust being part of that sc(D7)ene

It was M(G)rs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter

Pa(G7)mela was driving the c(C)ar

They got hit by a man in a li(G)ght blue sedan

Who had ob(D)viously been to a b(G)ar

(Chorus)

They d(C)on't know how lucky they a(G)re

They co(C)uld have ran into that t(D7)ree

Got st(G)ruck by a bolt of lig(C)htning

And rap(G)ed by a m(D7)inor(G)ity

(G)It was a four-way stop dilemma. We a(C)ll arrived the same t(G)ime

I yielded to the man to the right of me

And he yie(A7)lded it right back to m(D7)ine

Well, the yi(G)eld when around and around and around

Till Pa(G7)mela finally tr(C)ied

Just then the man in the li(G)ght blue sedan

Hit P(D)amela's passenger si(G)de

(Repeat Chorus)

(Instrumental)

(C) (D7)

(G) (C)

(G) (D7) (G)

(G)Pamela hit her head on the mirror. Mrs. Wa(C)lker got a bump on k(G)nee

The man hit himself in the face and said

"W(A7)hy does this happen to m(D7)e?"

The ne(G)ighbors came out and they gathered about

Saying "H(G7)ey! who hit who an(C)yway?"

Then the police arrived at a qu(G)arter to five

And pr(D)onounced all the victims "O(G)kay"

(Repeat Chorus)
