E
Pretty little one
           C#m
How has it all begun?
        E
They're teaching you how to walk
             C#m
But you're already on the run
       A
Little one-
         E
What you gonna do?
       A
Little one-
            B
Honey, it's all up to you

         E                                  C#m
Now your daddy's in the den shootin' up the evening news
E                                  C#m
Mama's with a friend, lately she's been so confused
       A
Little one-
            E
Come on and take my hand
  A                             B
I may not have the answer but I believe I got a plan

          A                               E
Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line
    B                                   E
And see if we can't get in touch with a very close friend of mine
           A
But let me clue you in, it ain't like him
   E
To argue or pretend-
B                                A       E
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

             E                                        C#m
Well they've got a little list of all those things of which they don't approve
        E                                C#m
They've got to keep their eyes on you or you might make your move
       A
Little one-
         E
I really wish you would
       A 
Little one-
            B
I think the damage would do you good

          A                               E
Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line
               B         
We're going to forget all about the battle
           E
It's gonna feel so fine
                A   
'Cause he's the missing link, the kitchen sink-
  E 
Eleven on a scale of ten
B                                A       E
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

          A                               E
Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line
             B
I'm going to try to swing you up into my saddle
               E
And then we'll run but you'll think we're flyin'
          A
Now honey don't just stand there
                  E
Lookin' like this dream will never end
B                                A       E
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
B                                A       E
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

|B     |B     |A      |A     |E      |
