Chicken Reel chords and lyrics - NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Way
[Bm]down in Carolina where the sweet
potatoes grow
There lives a dusky maiden by the name
of Liza Snow
She used to go to parties where they'd always [D]make her sing,
But say you ought to see that Baby
do the pigeon [Bm]wing.
They held a dancing contest and
were goin' to give a prize
They all had on their finest and
it now was up to Lize.
Just who was goin' to win
it ev'rybody [D]there could feel,
When Liza hollered [Bm]to the band to
play the Chicken Reel
Clear the crowd away
Tell the band to play
When you hear me say "GO"
My honey
Chorus:
Oh, you Chicken Reel,
how [D]you make me feel
[Bm]Say it's really so entrancin'
Who [D]could really[Bm]
[D]
[Bm][D]
[Bm]
keep from dancin',
That's the music sweet,
like the chicken meat
Give it to me with the dressin'
I don't need no dancin'
[D]lesson
Put all the other fine selec
[Bm]tions right away
That is the only tune I
want to hear you play
When I get married if there's music
I will say
"Hey boss keep a- playin' Chicken
Reel all day
One night when [D]from a party she

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
was walkin' home with Bill
Now he's a steady feller and
the night was dark and still
It [D]seems he [Bm]stoe a chicken and when Liza heard of that,
She said I'm gonna wear it on my
go- to- meetin' hat.
I guess [D]you'r goin' crazy answered
William with a smile,
But Liza said "Go on you havn't
heard the latest style."
When first she wore it out
the people asked her to explain
but Liza simply said Why
I have chicken on the brain.
Clear the crowd away
Tell the band to play
When you hear me say "GO" My
honey
(Chorus)
