VERSE 2 (same as verse 1 except for Fm chord)

Grew a moustache and a mullet

Got a job at chick-fillet

Citing artistic differences

the band broke up in May

Fm

And in June reformed without me

And they got a different name

I nuked another grandma's apple pie

And hung my head in shame, no

 

CHORUS (listen to song for the arrangement of the chords)

D#m A#m G#maj7

Been thinking a lot today

Been thinking a lot today

VERSE 3 (same chords as previous verse)

In this time of introspection

On the eve of my election

I say to my reflection

God please spare me more rejection

'Cause my peers, they criticize me

And my ex-wives all despise me

Try to put it all behind me

But my redneck past is nipping at my heels
