Hi, so I'm gonna do one more song.

[Verse 1]
    E             F#m             C#m    G#m7/D#
The chicken wakes up like she does every morning
E            F#m        C#m         G#m7/D#
To the sounds of her husband's screams
E          F#m             C#m        G#m7/D#
Sat in the dark on the eggs she is warming
E      F#m         C#m      G#m7/D#
She closes her eyes and dreams of
A6                    B6
Walking to Memphis, becoming a dentist
C#m Badd9 G#7 A6
Anything but this
                                B6
I mean, shе likes her life as a mothеr and wife
    C#m  Badd9  G#7 A6
But is that all she is?
                   Am
She stares out the window
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Emaj7     F#m9            C#m    Emaj9/G#
The very next morning, the chicken decides to
Emaj7      F#m9             C#m7   Emaj9/G#
Make her escape, get a taste of freedom
    Emaj7        F#m9              C#m7       Emaj9/G#
She runs out the coop that her life's been confined to
Emaj7    F#m9                  C#m7 Emaj9/G#
Suddenly sees the things she’s only dreamed of
A6                     B6
Just up ahead, gophers run through a meadow
C#m Badd9   G#7  A6
Deer graze, birds sing
                            B6
Her future is waiting right there for the taking
 
 
[Bridge]
C#m  Badd9   G#7 A6                      Am              E
There's just one thing, the chicken must first cross the road
   G#7  C#m
The road
 
 
[Verse 3]
             Badd4           Aadd#11
A sea of trees and green and moss
                 F#m   Eadd9     G#7  C#m
Waiting just across the road, the road
      B                Aadd9                 Am
A life of brighter days, a width of road away
    E         F#m9           C#m     G#m7/D#
The road is gigantic, the chicken is little
E          F#m9                   C#m      G#m7/D#
She moves ahead, left, right, left, right, left, right
E          F#m9            C#m     G#m7/D#
All of the sudden she stops in the middle
E         F#m9           C#m G#m7/D#
Frozen in place by a pair of headlights
     A6                  B6
It's anyone's guess what then happened next
   C#m  Badd9  G#7 A6
But most think she died
                          B6                   C#m Badd9 G#7 A6
But I think we ought to believe that she got to the other side
                  Am
So that's why she did it
