Dixie Chicken
Lowell George (Little Feat)

Intro: A (8 measures)

E7            A                                             E7
I've seen the bright lights of Memphis, and the Commodore Hotel
                                                A
And underneath the streetlamp, I met a southern belle
A7       D              A                         E7
Well she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
                                                   A
And in that southern moonlight, she sang a song so well

|E7        A                                           E7
|If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tennessee lamb
|                                 A E7 A     E7      A E7 A
|And we can walk together down in Dixieland, down in Dixieland

E7   A                                               E7
Well we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine
                                                        A
And then that low-down southern whiskey began to fog my mind
      D              A                                E7
And I don't remember church bells, or the money I put down
                                                                     A
On the white picket fence and boardwalk, of the house at the edge of town
A7     D          A                             E7
Oh but boy do I remember, the strain of her refrain
                                                            A
And the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name

Break (16 measures)


E7        A                                                      E7
Well it's been a year since she ran away, yes that guitar player should complain
                                                    A
She always liked to sing along, he was always handy with a song
    D                     A                        E7
And then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
                                                   A
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
A7  D            A                             E7
And as he handed me a drink, he began to hum a song
                                                 A
And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along
