Chords for Johnny Russell - Medley

[E] These next songs that we're gonna do in this medley are songs that I've been associated with down through the year.
Starting with this first song, which was my very first number one record. _
This guitar's been a little sick.
You might notice it's not up to par.
[B] There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
[E] With my redneck, white [B] socks and good old [E] strolled beard
_ _ Farm maid is mad [A] cause some guy [E] made a pass
Box is clean, there [B] stands a glass
_ [E] Cigarette smoke [A] kinda hangs in [E] the air
_ Rednecks, [C#m] white socks [B] and good old [E] strolled beard
We [B] don't fit in with [A] that white collar [E] crowd
[B]
We're a little too rowdy and [A] a little [E] too loud
There's no place that [A] I'd rather be than [E] right here
With my redneck, white socks [B] and good old strolled [E] beard
_ Now this next song is a song that I wrote back in 1961.
Took me two years to get somebody to record it cause they said it wouldn't sell no record.
Finally in 1963, Buck Owens and the Buckaroos done it.
_ 1964, Loretta Lynn and the coal miners done it.
_ 1965, Ringo Starr and the Beatles done it.
1969, Charlie Pryde and the Pridesmen done it.
1972, _ _ Tricky Dicky and the Internal Revenue done it.
_ _ So far the little song that they told me wasn't gonna sell no records
because the records has already sold somewhat over 20 million records.
And I'll tell you right now if it wasn't for alimony and taxes,
I'd be a rich little fat boy today.
_ _ _ They're gonna put me in [A] the movie
_ _ [E] They're gonna make a big star [B] out of me
_ [E] They'll make a film about a man who's [A] sad and lonely
_ [E] And all I gotta do [B] is act [E] naturally
_ [B] Well I'll bet you I'm gonna be [E] a big star
I [B] might win an Oscar you can't [E] ever tell
The [B] movies are gonna make me [E] a big star
_ [F#] Cause I can play the part [B] very well
I [E] hope you come to see me [A] in the movies
_ [E] All that I know that you will [B] plainly see
Yeah [E] the biggest boom that's ever hit [A] for big time
_ [E] And all I gotta do [B] is act [E] naturally
_ Now this next song is a song that I recorded that was written by Dallas Frazier and Whitey Schaefer
And it's become my most requested song of all the songs that we've ever recorded
I hope y'all remember this one
Well they baptized Jesse Taylor [A] in Cedar Creek [E] last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a [B] good right arm
[E] They all cried [G#] hallelujah [A] when Jesse's head [E] went under
Cause this time he went under for the Lord
Well among the local tavern [A] there'll be a slackin' business
[E] Well Jesse drank and came aboard the roasteries [B] and the rent
[E] And among the local women [A] there'll be a slackin' cheating
