In the e vent of some thing hap pen ing to me,

there is some thing I would like you all to (D7)see.

It’s just a (G)pho to graph of some one that I (Am)knew.

Do you know what it’s (C)like on the (F)out side?

Don’t go talk ing too loud, you’ll cause a (E)land slide, Mis ter (Am)Jones.

Do you know what it’s (C)like on the (F)out side?

Don’t go talk ing too loud, you’ll cause a (E)land slide,
