It Happened Just That Way
Written and recorded by Roger Miller

C       F
Yea yea yea yea
C           G7
Yea yea yea yea
     C       F
Well yea yea yea yea
   C        G7        C
It happened just that way

 
Well I was born in the boomer's shack
                   G7
Bout that far from railroad track
C                    F
Choo-choo rattled my window pane
C                        G7            C
Sheet iron roof tells me every time it rains

Repeat #1   Well...  


Well I went to a one room school
              G7
Walked to and from this school
  C                  F
I carried lunch in a paper sack
   C                 G7        C
It was one mile over two miles back

Repeat #1  Well...  


And my brother worked hard in the grain
             G7
Papa drove a choo-choo train
C                F
One sister was a righteous girl
    C               G7           C
But the other was a woman of the world

Repeat #1  x2
