C                                   F
What this world needs is a few more rednecks
                                   C
Some people ain't afraid to take a stand
                                       G
What this world needs is a little more respect
                                         C
For the Lord and the law and the workin' man
                                F
We could use a little peace and satisfaction
                                      C
Some good people up front to take the lead
                                     G
A little less talk and a little more action
                                   C     F G C
And a few more rednecks is what we need


[Verse]

      C
I's raised on beans and cornbread
    D
And I like my chicken fried
F
Yes, I drive a pickup truck
        G
And I'm full of American pride
         C
I keep a Bible on my table
        D
I got a flag out on my lawn
      F
And I don't believe in mindin'
         G               C
No one's business but my own

      C
And I love them Rambo movies
             D
I think they make a lot of sense
           F
And it's a shame ol' John Wayne
               G
Didn't live to run for president

      C
And I don't care what nobody says
        D
I don't trust ole Gorbachev
      F
And I don't know who turned him on
         G                C
But it's time to turn him off


[Chorus]

C                                      F

[Verse]

            C
Now they’re tryin’ to take my guns away 
    D
And that would be just fine
       F
If you take ‘em away from the criminals first
    G
I’d gladly give you mine
    C
And I don’t mine payin’ taxes
    D
But it makes my temper itch
        F
When my hard earned money goes
             G          C
To make some politician rich

     C
What most people call a Redneck 
      D
Ain’t nothin’ but a workin’ man
       F
And he makes his livin’ by the sweat of his brow
        G
And the calluses on his hands
        C
Now you intellectuals may not like it
          D
But there ain’t nothin’ you can do
                F
Cause there’s a whole lot more of us common folks
             G               C
Than they’re ever will be of you.


[Chorus]

C                                      F

                 F
That’s what we need

And A Few More Rednecks is what we need.
