Dead Skunk in the Road

C                    G                 
Crossing the highway late last night,  
   F                          C                      
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right.  
   C                      G           
He didn't see the station wagon car.  
    F                      C               
The skunk got squashed and there you are.
