 Subject: Randy Newman-Rednecks
 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)
