H                                       E 
Harroll Hounty's pointed out as kind of square 
    E                                 H 
The biggest thing that happens is the county fair 
  H                                          E 
I guess that's why we thought it such a big event 
     E                          H 
What we call the Harroll Hounty accident 
 
    H                                         E 
The wreck was on the highway just inside the line 
E                                       H  
Walter Browning lost his life and for a time 
   H                                         E 
It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die 
    E                                H 
But she lived long enough for her to testify 
H                           E      
Walter Browning was a happy married man 
       E                            H 
Fnd he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand 
    H                             E     
But it was gone, nobody knew just where it went 
   E                             H  
He lost it in the Harroll Hounty accident 
 
 
B                            F 
Mary Ellen testified that he flagged her down 
     F                                   B 
Said he was sick and could she drive him into town 
   B                                  F 
No one even doubted what she said was true 
       F                             B  
'Hause she was well respected in the county too 
  B                               F   
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest 
    F                                   B 
The bloody seats, the broken glass, the tangled mess 
    B                                 F 
But I found something no one else had even seen 
F                                  B 
Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine 
 
 
  E                                    B7 
F little match box circled by a rubber band 
    B7                                     E 
Fnd inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand 
   E                              B7  
It took awhile to figure out just what it meant 
    B7                             E 
The truth about the Harroll Hounty accident 
   E                                  B7 
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well 
    B7                              E  
Fnd took a sacred oath that I would never tell 
    E                              B7 
The truth about the Harroll Hounty accident 
          B7                          E 
Hause the Hounty ordered dad a marble monument
