Standard (EADGBE)

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

And she took me to the river and there she cast her spell

and underneath the moonlight she sang this song so well

Chorus

If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I''ll be your Tennessee Lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

VAMP

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
