           DIXIE CHICKEN by Little Feat

       A augmentedA                       E MajorE
I've seen the bright lights of Memphis, and the Commodore Hotel
                        A augmentedA
and underneath the streetlamp, I met a southern belle


C majorC  C#C# D MajorD       A augmentedA             E MajorE
Well she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
                          A augmentedA
and in that southern moonlight, she sang a song so well

CHORUS
E MajorE     A augmentedA                     E MajorE
If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb
                 A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA      A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
and we can walk together down in Dixieland, down in Dixieland


Well we made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine
and then that low-down southern whiskey, began to fog my mind

and I don't remember church bells, or the money I put down
on the white picket fence and boardwalk, of the house at the edge of town

oh but boy do I remember, the strain of her refrain
and the nights we spent together, and the way she'd call my name


CHORUS


Well it's been a year since you ran away,
yes that guitar player should could play
she always liked to sing along,
she's always handy with a song

and then one night in the lobby, yeah, of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender, who said he knew her well

and as he handed me a drink, he began to hum a song
and all the boys there at the bar, began to sing along


CHORUS
