The chicken wakes up,
C#m G#m7
like she does every morning
E F#m
To the sounds of
C#m G#m7
her husband's screams
E F#m C#m
Sat in the dark on the egg
G#m7
she is warming
E F#m C#m G#m7
She closes her eyes and dreams of

Walking to Memphis, becoming

[Verse 2]
Emaj7 F#m
The very next morning,
C#m G#m7
the chicken decides to
Emaj7 F#m
Make her escape,
C#m7 G#m7
get a taste of freedom
Emaj7 F#m
She runs out the coop that
C#m7 G#m7
her life's been confined to
Emaj7 F#m
Suddenly sees the thing
C#m7 G#m7
she’s only dreamed of
A B
Just up ahead, gophers run
through a meadow
C#m B G#7 A
Deer graze, birds sing
A
Her future is waiting,
B
right there for the taking
C#m B G#7 A
There's just one thing
A Am E
The chicken must first cross the road
G#7
The road

C#m B A
A sea of trees and green and moss
F#m E
Waiting just across the road,
G#7 C#m
the road
B A
A life of brighter days,
Am
a width of road away
[Verse 3]
E F#m
The road is gigantic,
C#m G#m7
the chicken is little
E F#m C#m
She moves ahead left-right-left,
G#m7
right-left-right
E F#m C#m
All of the sudden she stops
G#m7
in the middle
E F#m C#m G#m7
Frozen in place by a pair of headlights
A B
It's anyone's guess what then
happened next
C#m B G#7 A
But most think she died
A B
But I think we ought to believe
that she got to
C#m B G#7 A
The other side
A Am
So that's why she did it
