Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
Carroll (C major) County's
pointed out as kind (G major) of square
The biggest thing that
happens is the county (C major) fair
I guess that's why it seemed
like such a (G major) big event
What we all call the Carroll
County (C major) accident

Verse 2
The wreck (C major) was on the highway
just in (G major) side the line
Walter Browning lost his life (C major) and for a (G major) time (C major)
It seemed that Mary Ellen
Jones (G major) would surely die
But she lived long enough
for her to testify
(C major)
Verse 3
Walter Browning was a happy married (G major) man
And he wore a golden wedding
ring upon (C major) his hand
But it was gone,
nobody knew just (G major) where it went
He lost it in the Carroll County (C major) accident (A major)
Verse 4
Mary (D major) Ellen testified he flagged (A major) her down
Said he was sick and could
she drive him (D major) into town
No one even doubted what
she said (A major) was true
'Cause she was well
respected in (D major) the county too
Verse 5
I (D major) went down to see the
wreck like (A major) all the rest
The bloody seats, the broken glass,
the (D major) tangled mess
But I found something no one
else had (A major) even seen
Behind the dash,
in Mary's crumpled (D major) up machine
(B major) (E major)
Verse 6
A little match box circled by a (B major) rubber band
And inside,
the ring from Walter (E major) Browning's hand
It took a while to figure out
just (B major) what it meant
The truth about the Carroll County (E major) accident
Verse 7
By (E major) dark of night,
I dropped the ring (B major) into a well
And took a sacred oath
that I would (E major) never tell
The truth about the Carroll
County (B major) accident
'Cause the County ordered
dad a marble (E major) monument
Verse 8
I (B major) lost him in the Carroll County (E major) accident
