[G] [Cadd2]
Well he traded in his dumb old Ford
[D] [G]
For a new smart car with an extension cord
[C]
Now he's saving gas and got a cheaper note
[D] [G]
But he's got no way to haul his boat
Chorus 1: The "C" chord is at the beginning of the chorus is played down from a C to a
Cmaj9/B to a Em#5
then back to a G
[C] [Cmaj9/B] [Em#5] [G]
It's the little things we take for granted
[D] [G]
When we sacrifice to save the planet If you can, this little
progression is in
the C chord and sounds good.

Verse 2:
[G] [Cadd2]
Down the road, old man McGower
[D] [G]
You know he runs his house on the solar power
C (play a little harder on this part)
Now his lights are bright and the music plays
D (play soft down strums) G (gradually heavier down strums)
Sort of dark and quiet on the cloudy days
Chorus 2: played exactly the same as chorus 1
[C] [Cmaj9/B] [Em#5] [G]
It's the little things we take for granted
[D] [G]
When we sacrifice to save the planet
[C]
The darndest thing you've ever seen
D G (gradually heavier down strums)
This old redneck has done gone green

after the the solo it goes G, Cadd2, G, D, G then into next part.
[D] [G] [C]
The life we knew is coming to a halt
D (just a run through of the strings in the D position)
Sad but true, and it's our own fault
[G] [C]
We put our own crimson necks right in the noose
[D]
We got strung out on that black dinosaur juice
[C]
Not long ago someone told me
[D] [G]
To quit using paper, stop killing trees
C (pick strings A D G and B by themselves in the C position)
She said soon there won't be no more books
D G (gradually heavier down strums)
I swear to God on a stack of nooks
Chorus 3:
[C] [Cmaj9/B] [Em#5] [G]
It's the little things we take for granted
[D] [G]
When we sacrifice to save the planet
[C]
The darndest thing I've ever seen
[D] [G]
My redneck world has done gone green
[D] [G]
The whole dang place has done gone green
