Carrol County Accident taby ukulele według Dolly Parton

C                               G7
Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square
                                      C
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair
                                         G7
I guess that's why it seemed like such a big event
                                    C
What we all call the Carroll County accident

                                  G7
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line
                                  C
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time
                                      G7
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die
                                     C
But she lived long enough for her to testify

                            G7
Walter Browning was a happy married man
                                  C
And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand
                                 G7
But it was gone nobody knew just where it went
                                 C
He lost it in the Carroll County accident

                        G7
Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down
                                         C
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town
                             G7
No one even doubted what she said was true
                                    C
Cause she was well respected in the county too

                                  G7
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest
                                      C
The bloody seats the broken glass the tangled mess
                                      G7
But I found something no one else had even seen
                                      C
Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine

                                G7
A little match box circled by a rubber band
                                C
And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand
                                  G7
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant
                                   C
The truth about the Carroll County accident

                                    G7
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well
                                    C
And took a sacred oath that I would never tell
                                   G7
The truth about the Carroll County accident
                                      C
Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument
  G7                             C
I lost him in the Carroll County accident
