        A                                 D                          E 
There's crime in the city streets, always trouble in the Middle East 
                                 A 
How'd we let things get so outta hand 
                                           D       
Just watchin' the evenin' news, that would give anybody the blues 
    E                                    A      E 
The more I know I think, the less I understand. 
 
   A                           D 
Oh Why Can't We All Just Get A Long Neck 
    E                            A    E 
And make a toast to peace and harmony 
    A                           D 
Why Why Can't We All Just Get A Lo-ng Neck 
    E                                 A 
And see how good, gettin' along might be.  
 
E A 
 
    A                
I'd like to buy the world around 
     D 
In a honky-tonk on neutral ground 
      E  
Where we can see inside were all the same 
      A 
Pop a top and let the good times pour 
           D 
Till we forget what we was fightin' for 
     E                               A      E 
I'll ask again, can someone please explain.

Chorus: 
 
   E                            A 
As different as we may be, were all one big family  
B                                   E 
Can't we all just agree we gonna disagree. 
 
Chorus2: 
A                           D 
Why Can't We All Just Get A Long Neck 
    E                            A    E 
And make a toast to peace and harmony 
        A                           D 
Why Why Why Can't We All Just Get A Lo-ng Neck 
    E                               A 
And see how good, gettin' along can be. 
 
    E                                 A 
And see how good, gettin' along could be.

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen 
                                                G

Son of a gun, we'll have a little fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo

Because tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio (that's sweetheart) 
                                            G 
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and do a little danceo

Gonna pass a good time on the bayou.
