ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRUCK

Verse lick  (notes) C-Db-D-Eb-Ab    Gb-F

It sounds good an octave above this too.

(guitar/keyboard lick 4 times)

I was walking across the bridge

Going to my friend's house

When I was crossing the road

                             Db

A truck almost ran me down

                                       Db7

Ran me down ran me down oh oh

B      F#     Ebm

Oh I'm so sad

B         F#                 Ebm

And I know you'll be glad

            Abm

When I find my way

B                        F#

Find my way oh oh

    (verse lick)

I was walking on my way to work

The same day I wasn't looking

And I was in the middle of the street

And a truck almost hit me

Almost hit me almost hit me oh oh

(chorus chords)

Oh I'm not so bad

Please don't be mad

 

I'm finding my way, finding my way oh oh

    (verse lick)

Got to stay along the straight and narrow

Stand off the obstacle course

Or something's liable to happen

Like a truck will run you right over

Run you right down

Run you right over oh, oh

Oh I'm so glad

(chorus chords)

And I know that you'll be glad

If I find my way

Find my way oh oh

(verse lick)

Almost got hit by a truck

Almost got hit by a truck

Almost got hit by a truck

Almost got hit by a truck

Abm

This version in G is easier to play on guitar. The lick is the same, just move everything up a fret. (b-c-c#-d-g    f-e)  Use these chord substitutions for the chorus.
