  			Verse I 

E 
When I first met you baby,  You fed me on chicken and wine 
E                              A                 E 
It was steak and potatos, and babe I sure felt fine 
 E 
But now all you feed me if the seaweed and the alfalfa sprouts 
 A 
sunflower seeds and I got my doubts 
          E       C#m  F#m              B      E 
Baby you left me here with the chicken cordon blues 


Verse II 

  E 
My stomach's empty and all I got is food for thought 
  E 
I've been sittin' here thinking 
           A                              E 
Bout' the twenty pounds of groceries we bought 
  E 
We bought ten pounds of wild rice, five more of beans 
  A 
five pounds of granola and you know what that means 
       E                    C#m      F#m      B     E 
I'm a regular fella,  and I got the chicken cordon blues 


Verse III 

  E 
I'm starved for affection and I don't think I can stand no more 
  E 
this stuff is so strange the cockroaches moved next door 
           A 
don't you see that old dog standing out there in the street 
      E 
with a big smile on his face cause they let him eat meat 
  E        C#m   F#m           B 
And i got you, And I got the chicken 
  E    C#m  F#m            B 
I got you, And I got the chicken 
  E               C#m      F#m      B     E 
I got you,  and I got the chicken cordon blues
