Dixie Chicken Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[F][G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I've seen the [G]bright lights
of Memphis and the Commodore [D]Hotel
And underneath a street lamp
I met a South[G]ern Belle
[Bb]Well, [G]she [C]took me to the [G]river
where she casts her [D]spell
And in that southern moonlight,
she sang a song [C]so [G]well
If [C]you'll

[Verse 2]
[G]be my Dixie chicken,
I'll be your Tennessee [D]lamb
And we can walk together
down in [G]Dixieland[D][G]
Down [D]in [G]Dixieland[C][G]

[Interlude 1]
[C]
[Gm][F][Bb][C][D]
[C]Well, we made

[Verse 3]
[G]all the hot spots,
[C]my mon[G]ey flowed like win[D]e
Then that lowdown southern
whiskey began to fog [G]my mind
[Bb]And I [C]don't remember c[G]hurch
bells or the money I put [D]down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk
of the house at the edge of [G]town[Bb]
[G]But [C]boy, do I re[G]member
the strain of her re[D]frain
The nights we spent together,
and the way she called my [G]name
If [C]you'll

[Verse 4]
[G]be my [C]Dixie chicken,
[G]I'll be your Tennessee [D]lamb
And we can walk together
down in [G]Dixieland[C][G]
Down [D]in Dixieland

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][D][G]
[C][G][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]Well, it's bee[D]n a y[G]ear
since she ran away
Yes, that banjo player sure [D]could play
She always liked to sing along,
she's handy with [G]a song
[Bb]Then [G]one [C]night in [G]the lobby of
the Commodore [D]Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender
who said he knew her [G]well
And [Bb]as h[G]e ha[C]nded me a drink,
[G]he began to hum a s[D]ong
And all the boys there at the
bar began to sing [G]along
If [C]you'll

[Verse 6]
[G]be my Dixie chicken,
I'll be your Tenness[D]ee lamb
And we can walk together
down in [G]Dixieland
Down [D]in [G]Dixieland[D][G]
