Gone Green Lyrics

Intro:
Verse 1: G Cadd2 C D
Well he traded in his dumb old Ford
For a new smart car with an extension cord
Now he's saving gas and got a cheaper note
But he's got no way to haul his boat
Chorus 1: The "C" chord is at the beginning of the chorus is played down from a C to a
Cmaj9/B to a Em#5
then back to a G
It's the little things we take for granted
When we sacrifice to save the planet * If you can, this little
progression is in
the C chord and sounds good.
The darndest thing I've ever seen G|-----0---------|
That old redneck has done gone green
Verse 2:
Down the road, old man McGower
You know he runs his house on the solar power
C (play a little harder on this part)
Now his lights are bright and the music plays
D (play soft down strums) G (gradually heavier down strums)
Sort of dark and quiet on the cloudy days
Chorus 2: played exactly the same as chorus 1
It's the little things we take for granted
When we sacrifice to save the planet
The darndest thing you've ever seen
D G (gradually heavier down strums)
This old redneck has done gone green
Solo:
after the the solo it goes G, Cadd2, G, D, G then into next part.
The life we knew is coming to a halt
D (just a run through of the strings in the D position)
Sad but true, and it's our own fault
We put our own crimson necks right in the noose
We got strung out on that black dinosaur juice
Not long ago someone told me
To quit using paper, stop killing trees
C (pick strings A D G and B by themselves in the C position)
She said soon there won't be no more books
D G (gradually heavier down strums)
I swear to God on a stack of nooks
Chorus 3:
It's the little things we take for granted
When we sacrifice to save the planet
The darndest thing I've ever seen
My redneck world has done gone green
The whole dang place has done gone green
