A                            A7
I woke up this mornin' 'bout half past four,
A                    A7
Somebody knockin' on my back door,
                 D9
Sayin' that's my rattlesnakin' daddy,
          A                  A7
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy,
          E7                   D9                      A
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time!

[Verse 3]
A                                  A7
I got a range in my kitchen, bakes bread nice and brown,
A                                          A7
Get my rattlesnakin' daddy, turn my damper upside down,
             D9
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy,
             A                  A7
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy,
      E7                   D9                      A
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time!
