Verse:
G
Well, he traded in his dumb old Ford
C   D                G
For a new smart car with an extension cord
G                   C
Now he’s saving gas and got a cheaper note

But he’s got no way to haul his boat

Its the little things we take for granted
G  D        G    C
When we sacrifice to save the planet

Darndest thing I’ve ever seen
D               G
That old redneck has done gone green
G C D7 G

Down the road, old man McGower
C  D                  G
You know he runs his house on the solar power

Now his lights are bright and the music plays
D                 G
Sorta dark and quiet on the cloudy days

Bridge:
D          G      C
The life we knew is coming to a halt
C       D
It’s sad but true and it’s our own fault
D       G             C
We put our own crimson necks right in the noose
C             D
We got strung out on that black dinosaur juice

Verse:
B           D    C
Well not long ago someone told me
D             G
To quit using paper, stop killing trees
G          C
She said soon there won’t be no more books
Dm              G      C
I swear to God on a stack of Nooks

That old redneck has done gone green
D                 G
The whole damn place has done gone green
