How to Play "The Accident" Guitar chords

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)

(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)
