Gone Green

G Am7/G G A7 D7

[Verse]
G
Well, he traded in his dumb old Ford
C     D                               G
For a new smart car with an extension cord
G                                      C
Now he’s saving gas and got a cheaper note
D                              G
But he’s got no way to haul his boat

[Chorus]
G       C       G     Am7         G
Its the little things we take for granted
G    D               G        C
When we sacrifice to save the planet
G                       C
Darndest thing I’ve ever seen
D                              G
That old redneck has done gone green
G C D7 G

[Verse]
G                      C
Down the road, old man McGower
C   D                                   G
You know he runs his house on the solar power
G                                 Cmaj7 C
Now his lights are bright and the music plays
D                                  G
Sorta dark and quiet on the cloudy days

[Chorus]
G       C       G     Am7         G
Its the little things we take for granted
G    D               G        C
When we sacrifice to save the planet
G                       C
Darndest thing I’ve ever seen
D                              G
That old redneck has done gone green

[Bridge]
D                   G           C
The life we knew is coming to a halt
C             D
It’s sad but true and it’s our own fault
D              G                          C
We put our own crimson necks right in the noose
C                         D
We got strung out on that black dinosaur juice

[Verse]
B                     D        C
Well not long ago someone told me
D                          G
To quit using paper, stop killing trees
G                   C
She said soon there won’t be no more books
Dm                           G           C
I swear to God on a stack of Nooks

[Chorus]
G       C       G     Am7         G
Its the little things we take for granted
G    D               G
When we sacrifice to save the planet
G                        C
Darndest thing I’ve ever seen
D                               G
That old redneck has done gone green
D                                  G
The whole damn place has done gone green
