Verse 1:
   E MajorE      F# minorF#m     C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m
The chicken wakes up like she does every morning
E MajorE     F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m
 To the sounds of her husband's screams
 E MajorE     F# minorF#m     C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
Sat?in the dark on the eggs she is warming
E MajorE   F# minorF#m    C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m
 She closes her eyes and dreams of
 A augmentedA           BB
Walking to Memphis, becoming a dentist
C# minorC#m  BB  G#7G#7  A augmentedA
Anything but this
A augmentedA            BB
I mean, she likes her life as a mother and wife
  C# minorC#m   BB  G#7G#7  A augmentedA
But is that all she is?
   A augmentedA       Am7Am7
She stares out the window

Verse 2:
   E MajorE     F# minorF#m     C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m
The very next morning, the chicken decides to
 E MajorE    F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m
Mak? her escape, g t a taste of freedom
   E MajorE      F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m
She runs out the coop that her life’s been confined to
 E MajorE    F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m
Suddenly sees the thing she's only dreamed of
 A augmentedA           BB
Just up ahead, gophers run through a meadow
C# minorC#m   BB   G#7G#7  A augmentedA
 Deer graze, birds sing
   A augmentedA             BB
Her future is waiting, right there for the taking
C# minorC#m     BB  G#7G#7  A augmentedA
 There's just one thing

Bridge:
   A augmentedA      Am7Am7       E MajorE
The chicken must first cross the road
  G#7G#7  C# minorC#m
The   road
Verse 3:
      BB         A augmentedA
A majorA sea of trees and green and moss
        F# minorF#m    E MajorE   G#7G#7  C# minorC#m
Waiting just across the road, the   road
  BB         A augmentedA          Am7Am7
A augmentedA life of brighter days, a width of road away
   E MajorE    F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m
The road is gigantic, the chicken is little
 E MajorE     F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
She moves ahead left-right-left, right-left-right
 E MajorE    F# minorF#m     C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
All of a sudden, she stops in the middle
 E MajorE     F# minorF#m    C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m
Frozen in place by a pair of headlights
   A augmentedA          BB
It’s anyone's guess what then happened next
  C# minorC#m    BB  G#7G#7  A augmentedA
But most think she died
   A augmentedA           BB
But I think we ought to believe that she got to
C# minorC#m  BB  G#7G#7  A augmentedA
 The ot her side
   A augmentedA      Am7Am7
So that's why she did it
