Subject: CRD: DIXIE CHICKEN

The rythm you will have to find on your own.  The only way I can describe
it is (bump bump ba-dump bump).  I learn this from a friend of mine who
put his on a record.

Dixie Chicken
Lowell George
Capo 2 to play with record

Intro
F# --> G							D
I?ve seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel

and underneath a street lamp I met a southern belle
Bb    B    C                     G			D
And she took me to the river and there she cast her spell

and underneath the moonlight she sang this song so well

CHORUS
Bb   B    G					  D
If you?ll be my Dixie Chicken, I?ll be your Tennessee Lamb
				G   C  G
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Bb       B  G  C  G
Down in Dixieland

VAMP
G  C G
D  Dsus

Well, we hit all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine
And that low down southern whiskey, it began to fog my mind
And I don?t remember church bells or the money I put down
Or the white picket fence and boardwalk  or the House at the edge of town

CHORUS

Well, it?s been a year since she went away, Yes that guitar player should
could play
She always like to sing along, always handy with a song
Then one night in lobby 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
