Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road

by Loudon Wainwright III

The lyrics are pretty much exact from the record. The chords are GDCG

repeated over and over, 2 beats per chord, without variation. After each

chorus, he runs through the chords for a full verse again before singing the

next verse. Let me know if you have any questions.

	G	D
Cr	ossing the highway l	ate last night,

	C	G
He sh	oulda looked left and he sh	oulda looked right.

	D
He didn't see the station w	agon car.

	C	G
The sk	unk got squashed and	there you are.

CHORUS:

	D
You got your dead skunk in the m	iddle of the road

	C	G
	Dead skunk in the m	iddle of the road

	D
Dead skunk in the m	iddle of the road

	C	G
(And it's) St	inking to high he	aven

Take a whiff on me. That ain't no rose.

Roll up your window and hold your nose.

You don't have to look and you don't have to see

'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory.

(chorus)

Yeah, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog.

On a moonlit night you got your dead toad frog.

You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon.

The blood and the guts, they gonna make you swoon.

You got your dead skunk In the middle

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinking to high heaven

C'mon, stink

You got it. It's dead. It's in the middle.

Dead skunk in the middle

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinking to high heaven

All over the road

Technicolor

Oh, you got pollution.

It's dead.

It's in the middle,

And it's stinkin' to high heaven.

Dead Skunk- Loudon Wainwright III

	F	C
	Cros	sin the highway late last night,

	Bb	F
He s	hould've looked left and he s	hould've looked right.

	C
He	didn't see the station wagon car,

	Bb	F
	The sk	unk got squashed and there you are.

Chorus

You got a dead skunk in the middle of the road,

dead skunk in the middle of the road,

And its stinkin to high heaven.

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose.

Roll up your windows and hold your nose.

You dont have to hear and you dont have to see,

Cause you can feel it in your ol-fact-o-ry!

(Chorus)

Well, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog,

And on a moonlight night you've got your dead toad-frog.

Got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon.

The blood and the guts, they're going to make you swoon!
