Kelly) Subject: CHORDS: Dixie Chicken (Little Feat) Message-ID: Date: Thu, 22 Oct 92 13:42:14 GMT Organization: University of New Mexico, Albuquerque Lines: 87 Here is an attempt I made at "Dixie Chicken" by Little Feat. Any help in improving it would be greatly appreciated, especially the little guitar part which I cannot quite get it right, as well as some of the lyrics. It sounds a lot better if you play these chords up the neck a bit.... -----------5---------------------------------------------------------------| -----------5------9-----7--------------------------------------------------| -----------6------9-----7--------------------------------------------------| -----------7------9-----7--------------------------------------------------| -----------7------7-----5--------------------------------------------------| -----------5---------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar intro / Chorus...... -------------------------------------------12------------------------------| ------------------------------------13b14------13b14-----------------------| ----14--14--14--14--12------14--14-----------------------------------------| ------------------------14-------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ----14--14--14--14--12------14--9------------------------------------------| ------------------------14---------12--10--11------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------13--------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------| DIXIE CHICKEN by Little Feat A E I've seen the bright lights of Memphis, and the Commodore Hotel A and underneath the streetlamp, I met a southern belle C C# D A E Well she took me to the river, where she cast her spell A and in that southern moonlight, she sang a song so well CHORUS E A E If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee lamb A E A A E A and we can walk together down in Dixieland, down in Dixieland Well we made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine and then that low-down southern whiskey, began to fog my mind and I don't remember church bells, or the money I put down on the white picket fence and boardwalk, of the house at the edge of town oh but boy do I remember, the strain of her refrain and the nights we spent together, and the way she'd call my name CHORUS Well it's been a year since you ran away, yes that guitar player should could play she always liked to sing along, she's always handy with a song and then one night in the lobby, yeah, of the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet 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 CHORUS
