[Verse 1]
    E             F#m 
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
A                     B
Walking to Memphis, becoming 
a dentist
C#m  B   G#7  A
Anything but  this
        A                  
I mean, shе likes her life 
     B
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      
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

[Bridge]
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
