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

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
