[Verse 1]
E F#m C#m G#m7
The chicken wakes up, like she does every morning
E F#m C#m G#m7
To the sounds of her husband's screams
E F#m C#m G#m7
Sat in the dark on the egg she is warming
E F#m C#m G#m7
She closes her eyes and dreams of
A B
Walking to Memphis, becoming a dentist
C#m B G#7 A
Anything but this
A B
I mean, shе likes her life as a mothеr and wife
C#m B G#7 A
But is that all she is?
A Am
She stares out the window
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 F#m C#m G#m7
The very next morning, the chicken decides to
Emaj7 F#m C#m7 G#m7
Make her escape, get a taste of freedom
Emaj7 F#m C#m7 G#m7
She runs out the coop that her life's been confined to
Emaj7 F#m C#m7 G#m7
Suddenly sees the thing 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 B
Her future is waiting, 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
[Bridge]
C#m B A
A sea of trees and green and moss
F#m E G#7 C#m
Waiting just across the road, the road
B A Am
A life of brighter days, a width of road away
[Verse 3]
E F#m C#m G#m7
The road is gigantic, the chicken is little
E F#m C#m G#m7
She moves ahead left-right-left, right-left-right
E F#m C#m G#m7
All of the sudden she stops 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
