Little Feat 1972 (Dixie Chicken) **
[A]
I've seen the [A]bright lights of Memphis,
and the Commodore [E]Hotel
And [E7]underneath a [E]street lamp, I met a [E7]southern [A]belle
Oh, she [D]took me to the [A]river, where she cast her [E]spell
And in that [E7]southern [E]moonlight, she sang this [E7]song so [A]well
If you'll [A]be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee [E]lamb
And [E7]we can walk [E]together down in [A][D]Dixie [A]land
[E7]Down in [A][D]Dixie [A]land
A . . .
We made all the [A]hotspots, my money flowed like [E]wine
Then the [E7]low-down southern [E]whiskey, yea, began to [E7]fog my [A]mind
And I [D]don't remember [A]church bells, or the money I put [E]down
On the [E7]white picket fence and [E]boardwalk
On the [E7]house at the [E]end of [A]town
Oh, but [D]boy do I [A]remember the strain of her [E]refrain
And the [E7]nights we spent [E]together
And the [E7]way she [E]called my [A]name
If you'll [A]be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee [E]lamb
And [E7]we can walk [E]together down in [A][D][A]Dixieland
[E7]Down in [A][D][A]Dixieland
A . . .
Well, [A]many years since she ran away
Yes that guitar player sure could [E]play
She [E7]always liked to [E]sing along
She [E7]always [E]handy with a [A]song
But then [D]one night at the [A]lobby of the Commodore [E]Hotel
I [E7]chanced to meet a [E]bartender who [E7]said he [E]knew her [A]well
And [D]as he handed [A]me a drink he began to hum a [E]song
And [E7]all the boys [E]there, at the bar, [E7]began to [E]sing [A]along
If you'll [A]be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee [E]lamb
And [E7]we can walk [E]together down in [A][D][A]Dixieland
[E7]Down in [A][D][A]Dixieland
A . . .
* It has been suggested that E would sound better then D in Dixieland.
