Dixie Chicken Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I've seen the [G]bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore [D]Hotel
And underneath a street lamp,
I met [Am]a So[C]uthern bel[Am]le
[C]Well, she[Am] took[C] me to the riv[G]er,
where she cast her [D]spell
And in that southern moonlight,
she sang a song so [G]well
If [C]you'll

[Verse 2]
[G]be my Dixie chicken,
I'll be your [D]Tenessee lamb
[G]And we [D]can walk to [G]get[D]her
down in [G]Dixieland
Down in Dixieland

[Verse 3]
[G]Well,[C][G][D]
[G]we made all the hot spots,
my money flowed like [D]wine
Then that low down southern
whiskey began to fog my [G]mind
[Bb]And I do[G]n't [C]rememb[G]er church
bells or the money I put [D]down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk
of the house at the edge of [G]town
[C]Oh, [G]but [C]boy,
do I [G]remember the strain of her [D]refrain
The nights we spent together,
and the way she called [G]my name
If [C]you'll

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

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 5]
Well, it's [G]been a year since she ran away
Yes, that guitar play[D]er sure could play
She always liked to sing along,
she's always [G]handy with [Gm]a so[G]ng[C][Bb]
[C]Then one night in the [G]lobby, yeah,
of the Commodore [D]Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender
who said he knew her [G]well
And [C]as he [G]handed me a drink,
he began to hum [D]a song
And all the boys there, at the bar,
began to sing [G]along

[Verse 6]
If you'll [G]be my Dixie chicken,
I'll be your Teness[D]ee lamb
And we can walk [G]to [D]gether
down [G]in Dixieland
Down [C]in [G]Dixieland

[Outro 1]
