[Verse]
                   D7     
I got a little red rooster
    A7                  
Too lazy to crow for day
D                    D7     
■ I got a little red rooster
            A7       A  
Too lazy to crow for day
A7    E7                               D7
■  He keeps everything in the barnyard ■ 
         A7        C
Upset in every way ■
A7                    
The dogs begin to bark
D7 D                A       C#m7 A
■  The hounds begin to howl ■    ■
A7     D                     
■  The dogs begin to bark now
    E7                   A
The hounds begin to howl ■
E                   E7       D7
■ Watch out all you kin folk ■ 
                           A7       
My little red rooster's on the prowl
E7                    A7                 D7
■  I tell you that he keeps all the hens ■ 
A7                       
Fighting among themselves
D7                
Keeps all the hens
               A7        
Fighting among themselves
              E7                     D7
He don't want no hen in the barnyard ■ 
                A7         
Laying eggs for nobody else


[Chorus]
Em7 E A D7 A7 D7 D A7
■   ■ ■ ■  ■  ■  ■ ■ 
E7 D7 A7
■  ■  ■ 
            E7        A7                       D7     
Let me tell everybody ■  now if you see my red rooster
         A7   A A7
Send him home ■ ■ 
            D7         D       D7
Said if you see my red rooster ■ 
A7       A   
Send him home
  E   E7              D7      
I had no peace in the barnyard
                       A7       
Since my red rooster's been gone
