E
WELL I WAS BACK IN THE HILLS ONE DAY, 
    A                                       
WHEN A RED NECK ASKED ME IF I COULD PLAY,
B7                                E
I SAID, "WITH A GUITAR MAN, I'M COOL."
  
HE SAID, "IF YOU'LL BET YOUR BOOTS AND COWBOY HAT,
A
ME AND MY BROTHER WILL TAKE YOU UP ON THAT."
B7                                            E
RIGHT THEN AND THERE I WAS SUCKED IN LIKE A FOOL.

           A                                        
WELL HE BROUGHT OUT HIS BANJO, BEGAN TO STRUM,
        E                                  
HIS BROTHER ON THE FIDDLE BEGAN TO HUM,
        F#                            B7
I WAS READY, HAD MY GUITAR TUNED TO A "T."
         A
THEN HE BEGAN TO PICK, HIS BROTHER BEGAN TO STRUM,
        E
I JUST STOOD THERE ALL SHAKING AND NUMB,
         B7                          A             E
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER SEEN A RED NECK JAMBOREE.


CHORUS;
     A                                     E
     FIRST TIME I EVER SEEN A RED NECK JAMBOREE,
     F#                                     B7
     SHUFFLING THEIR FEET AND PICKING, AS FAST AS I COULD SEE.
     A
     FINGERS MOVING LIKE A FLASH OF FIRE,
     E
     QUICKLY QUENCHED MY DESIRE, 
          B7                         A            E
     TO TAKE ON THOSE PICKERS AT A RED NECK JAMBOREE.







Verse # 2;

E
KIN FOLK CAME FROM NEAR AND FAR,
A                               
DOING THE TWO STEP OVER THEM BRIARS.
B7                                                E
WHILE THE KIDS RAN AROUND HAVING THEM SELVES A BALL.

THEY PLAYED TWO HOURS AND A HALF,
A
WHILE THEM KIN FOLK DANCING, WORE A PATH,
       B7                                         E
THEY WOULD GREET EACH OTHER SAYING, "HOW ARE YOU ALL?"

        A
WELL, THEY JUST LAUGHED AND DANCED AROUND,
 E                    
TRIED TO KEEP FROM STEPPING ON THE RED BONE HOUND.
      F#                                              B7
DUCKS AND CHICKENS FLYING OVER THE ROCKS IN THE GET FREE.
       A                                           
THEY WERE WEARING MY BOOTS AND COWBOY HAT, 
           E
MAN, HOW I WANTED TO BE A PART OF THAT,
     B7                         A             E
BUT I COULDN'T KEEP UP  AT THE RED NECK JAMBOREE.

     F#                                     B7
     SHUFFLING THEIR FEET AND PICKING, AS FAST AS I COULD SEE.
     A
     FINGERS MOVING LIKE A FLASH OF FIRE,
     E
     QUICKLY QUENCHED MY DESIRE, 
          B7                         A            E
     TO TAKE ON THOSE PICKERS AT A RED NECK JAMBOREE.
