Bo Diddley Rhythm [Intro] D G D G D G D G [Verse 1]
G                                         D
I've seen the bright lights of Memphis, and the Commodore Hotel

D7                         G
And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle

   C        G      D
Oh, she took me to the river, where she cast her spell

      D7                                G
And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well
[Chorus]
 G             D
If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

    D7                               G C  G     D7         G C  G
And we can walk together down in Dixie land  Down in Dixie land
[Interlude] G G G G G G G G [Verse 2]
     G                    D
We made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine

D7                        G
Then the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mind

   C                                      D
And I don't remember church bells, or the money I put down

D7                                                          G
On the white picket fence and boardwalk On the house at the end of town

   C       G        D
Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain

D7                                                      G
And the nights we spent together And the way she called my name
[Chorus]
 G             D
If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

    D7                               G C  G     D7         G C  G
And we can walk together down in Dixie land  Down in Dixie land

Slide guitar solo    Piano solo

     G                                  D
Well many years since she ran away Yes that guitar player sure could play

D7                     G
She always liked to sing along She always handy with a song

C                 G                   D
But then one night at the lobby of the Commodore Hotel

   D7                                G
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well

     C      G        D
And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song

       D7                                               G
And all the boys there at the bar, began to sing along
[Chorus]
 G             D
If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

    D7                               G C  G     D7         G C  G
And we can walk together down in Dixie land  Down in Dixie land
