G+G x 4 bars

     G7G7              E minor 7Em7
Well, my pretty little one, how has it all begun?
    G7G7                     E minor 7Em7
They're teaching you how to walk, but baby, you're already on the run
    C7C7      G7G7
Little one, what you gonna do?
    C7C7        D7D7
Little one, honey, it's all up to you

     G7G7                 E minor 7Em7
Now your daddy's in the den shootin' up the evening news
G7G7                 E minor 7Em7
Mama's with a friend, lately she's been so confused
    C7C7        G7G7
Little one, come on and take my hand
    C7C7                D7D7
Well, I may not have the answer but I be- lieve I got a plan

Chorus:
      C7C7            G7G7
Honey, you shake, I'll rattle, we'll roll on down the line
D7D7                 G7G7
See if we can't get in touch with a very close friend of mine
      C7C7                G7G7
But let me clue you in, it ain't like him to argue or pretend
D7D7                C7C7
Honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend

       G7G7                    E minor 7Em7
Well, they've got a little list of all those things of which they don't approve
   G7G7                      E minor 7Em7
Well, they've got to keep their eyes on you 'cause you might make your move
      C7C7      G7G7
Yeah little one, I really wish you would
    C7C7        D7D7         G7G7
Little one, I think the damage would do you good

Chorus:
        C7C7            G7G7
Well honey, you shake, I'll rattle, we'll roll on down the line
   D7D7                      G7G7
We're gonna forget all about the battle, it's gonna feel so fine
        C7C7                 G7G7
'Cause he's the missing link, the kitchen sink, e- leven on a scale of ten
   D7D7                C7C7
Well honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend

Well honey, you shake, I'll rattle, we'll roll on down the line
     D7D7                       G7G7
I'm gonna try to swing you up into my saddle, then we'll run but you'll feel like you're flyin'
   C7C7                     G7G7
Well, don't stand there, just look at that, this dream ain't gonna end
D7D7                C7C7   G7G7
Honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend

D7D7                C7C7   G7G7
