Dixie Chicken Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I seen the [D]bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore [A]Hotel
And it was there beneath
the streetlamp
Where I met a southern [D]belle
Well she [G]took me to the [D]river
Where she cast her [A]spell
And it was 'neath that
Memphis moonlight
She sang this song [D]so well

[Verse 2]
If you'll [D]be my Dixie chicken
Hey, I'll be your Tenness[A]ee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in [D]Dixieland[A][D]
Down in [A]Dixieland

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 3]
[D]We hit all the hotspots
Hey, my money flowed [A]like wine
'Til the lowdown southern whiskey
Began to fog [G]my [D]mind
Well, I [G]don't [D]remember church bells
Or the money I put [A]down
On the white picket fence
and boardwalk
At the house on the edge [G]of town
[D]Now, but boy[G] do I rem[D]ember
The strain of her re[A]frain
And the nights we spent together
And the way she called [G]my [D]name

[Verse 4]
If you'll [D]be my Dixie chicken
Hey, I'll be your Tennessee [A]lamb
And we can walk together
Down in [D]Dixieland[A][D]
Down in [A]Dixieland

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][D]
[G][D][A][D][F][D][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]It's been a year since she ran away
Guess that guitar play[A]er
sure could play
She always [G]liked to [A]sing along
He was always handy with a song
[G]Then [D]one nig[G]ht in [D]the lobby
Of the Commodore [A]Hotel
I by chance met a bartender
Who said he knew her [D]well
And [G]as he [D]handed me a drink
He began to hum a [A]song
And all the boys there at the bar
Began to sing [G]along[D]

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

[Verse 7]
If you'll [D]be my Dixie [A]chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lam[D]b
And we can walk together
Down in Dixieland
Down [D]in Dixieland
