I figured this out on piano by ear and the chords are strange because there are a lot of half steps in the song...

LYRICS

Verse 1:
Woke up this mornin, what do I see? 3,000 cameras pointed at me.
Dude says “You Levi?” Im like “Yes that’s me sir.”
“Well you just knocked up the VP nominee’s daughter…”
So I tell them “No, you got it wrong mister. Already got a girl and her name is Bristol.”
They all laugh and say “Where you been sonny? Your mother in law’s a heart beat from the presidency.”

Pre-Chorus:
So I say “Mother in law? No, we’re not getting married.”
They say “Soon you will boy. She just announced it.”
I get on my dirt bike and ride to my girls. Im gonna lay down the law and tell them whats goin’ on.

Chorus:
Im a f*ckin red neck, I live to hang out with the boys, play some hockey, do some fishin’ and kill some moose. I like to shoot the shit, do some chillin I guess. You f*ck with me and I’ll kick your ass.

Verse 2:
So we talk and it turns out we don’t believe in abortion and sex outside marriage is against our religion. And when I try to tell them I’m 18 years old, they say “Levi its too late, you’ve got to do as you’re told”
