[Verse 1]
    E             F#m          
The chicken wakes up, like she 
C#m        G#m7
does every morning
E       F#m           C#m       
 To the sounds of her husband's 
G#m7
screams
E          F#m         C#m       
Sat in the dark on the egg she is
 G#m7
 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 as a 
 B
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          C#m   
The very next morning, the 
    G#m7
chicken decides to
Emaj7      F#m         C#m7     
Make her escape, get a taste of 
G#m7
freedom
    Emaj7        F#m           
She runs out the coop that her 
C#m7           G#m7
life's been confined to
Emaj7    F#m                  
Suddenly sees the thing she’s 
C#m7  G#m7
only  dreamed of
A                      B
Just up ahead, gophers run through a
 meadow
C#m   B      G#7   A
 Deer graze, birds sing
    A                        B
Her future is waiting, right there 
for the taking
C#m      B    G#7  A
 There's just one  thing
    A            Am              
The chicken must first cross the 
E
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, the
G#7   C#m
 road
  B                A              
A life of brighter days, a width 
        Am
of road away


[Verse 3]
    E         F#m         C#m    
The road is gigantic, the chicken
    G#m7
 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 in 
  G#m7
the middle
E         F#m        C#m     
Frozen in place by a pair of 
G#m7
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
