Artist: John Prine Album: Sweet Revenge Year: 1973
G Last night I saw an accident CG on the corner of Third and Green G two cars collided and I got excited A7D just being part of that scene
G It was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter C Pamela, was driving the car G they got hit by a man in a lite blue sedan DG who had obviously been to a bar.
Chorus: CG They don't know how lucky they are CD they could have run into that tree GC got struck by a bolt of lightning GDG and raped by a minority.
G It was a four way stop dilemma CG we all arrived the same time G I yielded to the man to the right of me A7D and he yielded it right back to mine G well the yield went around and around and around C till Pamela finally tried G just then the man in the light blue sedan DG hit Pamela's passenger side.
(Repeat Chorus)
G Pamela hit her head on the mirror CG Mrs Walker got a bump on the knee G the man hit himself in the face and said A7D Why does this happen to me? G the neighbors came out G and they gathered about GC saying Hey! who hit who anyway? G and the police arrived at a quarter to five DG and pronounced all the victims Okay
