  This was requested from an individual so I though i would also post it to

  nevada.  This is basically a piano song (most Newman songs are), but I think

  the chords are pretty close.  I apologize for any mistakes, but this is my

  first posting of music.  I hope to do many more.

  Rednecks--Randy Newman

  From--Good 'Ole Boys

  

  Intro:

               Em7        G(add A)/B      Em7

  Last night I saw Lester Maddox  on  a   TV show

            Em7         G(add A)/B    Em7

  with some smart-ass   New   York    Jew.

          Em7            G(add A)/B      A7/C#

  And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox

          C/D                 Gsus4/D       G  

  and the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too.

           Em7      G(add A)/B     Em7

  Well, he may be a fool, but he's our fool.

          Em7                       G(add A)/B     A7/C#

  If they think they're better than him, they're   wrong.

       Em7         Em7/D                C            A7/C#

  So I went to the park and I took some paper along

      C/D            Gsus4/D      G

  and that's where I made this song.

  

  Verse 1:

  G            D7         G       D7  

  We talk real funny down here. 

  G            D7          G         D7

  We drink too much and we laugh too loud.

        G           D/F#          Em7   

  We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town, 

            A7          C/D     G       D7

  and we're keepin' the niggers down.

         G         D7          G        D7

  We got no-necked oilmen from Texas,

  G        D7              G      D7

  good ol' boys from Tennessee,

  G          D/F#     Em7

     college men from L.S.U.

  G          D/F#       Em7  

     Went in dumb, come out dumb too.

  G                 D/F#           Em7

  Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes.

          G           D/F#           Em7

  Gettin' drunk ev'ry weekend at the barbuques,

              A7          C/D     G

  and they're keepin' the niggers down.

  

  CHORUS:

        G  C            G  C

  We're Rednecks, we're Rednecks, 

         G              D7         Em7         C7

  and we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.

        G  D7           G  D7  

  We're Rednecks, we're Rednecks,

                A7          C/D     G

  and we're are keeping the niggers down.

  

  

  (last time only--slowly)

  E7           A7          C/D     G

        We are keepin' the niggers down.

  

  Verse 2:

  

  Now your Northern nigger's a Negro

  You see he's got his dignity

  Down here we're too ignorant to realize

  That the North has set the nigger free.

  Yes, he's free to be put in a cage in Harlem in New York City

  And he's free to be put in a cage on the South side of Chicago and 

                                          the West side

  And he's free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland

  And he's free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis

  And he's free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco

  And he's free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston.

  They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around,

  Keepin' the niggers down.

  

  (CHORUS)
