His Bmface turned green and his Awhite shirt was E7wet
BmLike he'd just seen an acci AdentE7  
We Bmthrew our masks Ainto a E7pile
BmThe trucks pulled away for AgoodE7

A Bmbus pulled in, and I Awaved at itE7  
BmBefore I knew what it AwasE7  
We Bmran in its tracks, Achasing its E7tires
BmBut the gates had been riveted shutA  E7  
I Bmlooked for the foreman: His Anumber was E7empty
BmUp to Red Deer to stayA  E7  
We Bmgathered some signs and we Asparked up a E7fire
BmGordie got burned on the Ahigh-voltage E7wire
BmHoly Mackinaw AJoeE7
