Longhaired Redneck

G

[Verse 1]
C           D                 G
Country DJs knows that I'm an outlaw
       G                           
They'd never come to see me in this
 C
 dive
      C                          
Where bikers stare at cowboys who 
     G        D/F#   Em
are laughing at the hippies
        Am                         
Who are praying they'll get out of 
      D
here alive

[Verse 2]
    C                 D      
The loud mouth in the corner's 
           G
getting to me
G                                
Talking about my earrings and my 
C
hair
C                                 
I guess he ain't read the signs 
   G        D/F#    Em
that say I've been to prison
Am                                 
Someone ought to warn him before I 
D
knock him off his chair

[Verse 3]
         C                    D   
Cause my long hair just can't 
        G
cover up my redneck
G                            
I've won every fight I've ever 
  C
fought
     C                       
Hey, I don't need some turkey 
         G       D/F#    Em
telling me that I ain't country
    Am                             
And sayin' I ain't worth the damned
    D
 old ticket that he bought

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
            G                  
Cause I can sing all them songs 
       C
about Texas
D                                 
  And I still do all the sad ones 
       G    D
that I know
     G                         
They tell me, I look like Merle 
 C
Haggard
    Am                           D
And sound a lot like David Allan Coe

[Verse 4]
        C                 D    
And the barmaid in the last town 
          G
that we played in
G                                
Knew the words to every song I'd 
C
wrote
C                                
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her 
G     D/F#    Em
on to my last album
Am                            
Just about the time the jukebox 
  D
broke

[Verse 5]
      C                  D        
Yeah, Johnny Cash helped me get 
     G
out of prison
G                                
Long before Rodriguez stole that 
C
goat
     C                             
I've been the Rhinestone Cowboy for
    G      D/F#    Em
 so long I can't remember
    Am                          
And I can do you every song Hank 
 D
Williams ever wrote

[Chorus]
          G                        
And I can sing all them songs about
 C
 Texas
D                                 
  And I still do all the sad ones 
       G    D
that I know
        G                          
I can't help it, I look like Merle 
C
Haggard
      Am                           
And I sound a lot like David Allan 
D
Coe

[Verse 6]
        C           D             
But the country DJs all think I'm 
   G
an outlaw
           G                       
And they'd never come to see me in 
     C
this dive
      C                          
Where bikers stare at cowboys who 
     G        D/F#   Em
are laughing at the hippies
        Am                         
Who are praying they'll get out of 
      D
here alive

[Other]
    C                 D      
The loud mouth in the corner's 
           G
getting to me
G                                
Talking about my earrings and my 
C
hair
