Rodney is very funny.  See him at your local comedy club
if you get the chance!

Intro:  Em

Em                          C
He once shot a man just for snoring
D                           Em
Got out of bed and shot him dead
Em
Well his name was .... (pause)
C
I didn't know what his name was
D                     Em
so we just called him Fred

Em
He was riding cross the desert
C
on a horse to another town
D                        Em
looking for a woman in a nightgown
Em
the horses' name was ..... (pause)
C
I didn't know what his name was
D                     Em
so we just called him Fred

C                                      D
Fred Fred's ridin' Fred, Fred's ridin' Fred

              Em
Fred's ridin' Fred


Verse 3

Em
Well he got into the town
      C
met a woman in a nightgown
D                 Em
she was wearin' a frown (hell it rhymes)
Em
well her name was .... (pause)
  C
I didn't know what her name was
D                     Em
so we just called her Fred

repeat chorus

ad lib (continue same chord progression)

That song's called Fred

This song here was written under the influence of alcohol
which has a tendency to make you think things are funnier
than what they really are.  Had you been drinkin' alcohol at the time of
hearing a Fred song, you'd be laying on the floor right now saying that
"Fred" song's whipping my ass.  Turn it off.
