| 6. Dixie chicken Intro : Verse: G I seen the bright lights of Memphis D And the Commodore Hotel And it was there beneath the streetlamp G Where I met a southern belle C G Well she took me to the river D Where she cast her spell And it was 'neath that Memphis moonlight G She sang this song so well Chorus; G If you'll be my Dixie chicken D I'll be yout Tennessee lamb And we can walk together G Down in Dixie land G Down in Dixie land Solo: Verse: We hit all the hotspots My money flowed like wine till the lowdown southern whiskey Began to fog my mind Well I don't remember church bells Or the money I put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk At the house on the edge of town Now but boy do I remember The strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together And the way she called by name Repeat Chorus It's been a year since she ran away Guess that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along He was always handy with a song Then one night in the lobby Of the Commodore Hotel I by chance met a bartender Who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink He began to hum a song And all the boys there at the bar Began to sing along Repeat Chorus (twice) |
