Longhaired Redneck Chords by David Allan Coe

[Start]

[Verse]
G C               D                 G     
■ Country deejays knows that I'm an outlaw
                                    C   
They'd never come to see me in this dive
                                      G           Em         
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
        A                              D    
Who are praying they'll get outta here alive
         C            D                   G 
The loud mouth in the corner's gettin' to me


[Chorus]
                                 C   
Talking 'bout my earrings and my hair
                                         G      Em       
I guess he ain't read the signs that say I been to prison
A7      A             A7                D                
Someone ought to warn him 'fore I knock him off his chair
               C               D           G       
'cause my long hair just can't cover up my red neck
                               C     
I've won every fight I've ever fought
                                        G      Em           
Hey I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country
    A                                   D                    
And sayin' I ain't worth the damned ol' ticket that he bought


[Bridge]
G                                      C    
'cause I can sing all them songs about Texas
D                D7                           G
■ And I still do all the sad ones that I know ■


[Verse]
               G7              C      
They tell me I look like Merle Haggard
A                                  D  
■ And sound a lot like David Allen Coe
C                D                     G           
And the bar maid in the last town that we played in
                             C        
Knew the words to every song I'd wrote
                      G                   Em        
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
A                       D            
Just about the time the jukebox broke
C               D             G            
Yeah Johny Cash helped me get out of prison
                            C        
Long before Rodriguez stole that goat
                                    G               D       
I've been the Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember
A                      D                            
And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote


[Chorus]
          G                         C    
And I can sing all them songs about Texas
D                                             G
■ And I still do all the sad ones that I know ■
                                  C      
I can't help it I look like Merle Haggard
      A7                     D        
And I sound a lot like David Allen Coe
C                           D     G            
But the country deejays all think I'm an outlaw
                             G7    C        
And they'd never come to see me in this dive
                      G               D               Em     
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
A                           D                
Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
C                       D        G            
■ The loud mouth in the corner's gettin' to me
                 C                   
Talking 'bout my earrings and my hair
