It Happened Just That Way

Song Author Roger Miller Performer: Roger Miller Submitted by: Anonymous

[C]Yea yea [F]yea yea

[C]Yea yea yea [G7]yea

Well [C]yea yea [F]yea yea

It [C]happened [G7]just that [C]way

Well I was born in the boomer's shack

Bout that far from [G7]railroad track

[C]Choo-choo rattled my [F]window pane

[C]Sheet iron roof tells me [G7]every time it [C]rains

Well [C]yea yea [F]yea yea

[C]Yea yea yea [G7]yea

Well [C]yea yea [F]yea yea

It [C]happened [G7]just that [C]way

Well I went to a one room school

Walked to and [G7]from this school

I [C]carried lunch in a [F]paper sack

It [C]was one mile over [G7]two miles [C]back

Well [C]yea yea [F]yea yea

[C]Yea yea yea [G7]yea

Well [C]yea yea [F]yea yea

It [C]happened [G7]just that [C]way

And my brother worked hard in the grain

Papa drove a [G7]choo-choo train

[C]One sister was a [F]righteous girl

But [C]the other was a [G7]woman of the [C]world

[C]Yea yea [F]yea yea

[C]Yea yea yea [G7]yea

Well [C]yea yea [F]yea yea

It [C]happened [G7]just that [C]way

[C]Yea yea [F]yea yea

[C]Yea yea yea [G7]yea

Well [C]yea yea [F]yea yea

It [C]happened [G7]just that [C]way

Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way

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

Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way

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

Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way

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

Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
