[Intro 1]
[D][Em][Bm][F#m][D][Em][Bm]
[F#sus4][G][A][Bm][A][F#]
[G]
[Gm]
The [D]chicken

[Verse 1]
[G]wakes up like [Bm]she does every morn[F#m]ing
[D]To the sound[Em]s of her hus
[Bm]band's [F#m]scream
[D]Sat in [Em]the dark on the [Bm]eggs she
is warm[F#m]ing[D]
[Em]She closes her eye[Bm]s
and dream[F#m]s of
[G]Walking to Memphis, be

[Verse 2]
[A]
coming a dentist
[Bm]Any [A]thing [F#]but t[G]his
I mean, she likes her life
as a [A]mother and wife
But [Bm]is t[A]hat all sh[F#]e is[G]?

[Verse 3]
She stares out the [Gm]window
The [D]very [Em]next morning, the chick[Bm]en

[Verse 4]
decides [F#m]to
[D]Make her [Em]escape, get [Bm]a taste of freedom
[F#m]She runs o[D]ut the co[Em]op that
her life's [Bm]been confined [F#m]to
[D]Suddenly [Em]sees the thing she's
[Bm]only [F#m]dreamed of
[G]Just

[Verse 5]
up ahead,
gophers [A]run through [Bm]a meadow
[A]Deer graze, [F#]bird[G]s sing
Her future is waiting,
right [A]there [Bm]for the taking
[A]There's just [F#]one t[G]hing

[Verse 6]
The [G]chicken must [Gm]first cross the [D]road
[F#]The [Bm]road

[Verse 7]
A sea of trees [A]and green and [G]moss
Waiting just [Em]across [D]the road, [F#]the road
[Bm]A life[A] of brig[G]hter days,
a width of road [Gm]away
The [Bm]road is

[Verse 8]
[Em]gigantic,
the chick[Bm]en is[F#m] little
[D]She moves ahead [Em]left-right-left,
right-left-right
[Bm]All [F#m]All All All [A]All [Em]of a sud[A]den,
[Bm]she stops in [F#m]the middle
[D]Frozen in place [Em]by a[Bm] pair of[F#m] headlights
[A]It's [Em]anyone's guess what

[Verse 9]
[A]
then happened next
[D]But [Em]most[Bm] think[A] she d[F#]ied[G][Em]
[G]But I think we [Em]ought to be
[A]lieve that she got [D]to[Em]
[Bm]The [A]othe[Bm]r si[F#]de[G]

[Verse 10]
So that's why she did it
Goodbye
