E
I got chickens in my front yard
A                            E
What they do is scratch and peck
A
I got chickens in my front yard
                             E
What they do is scratch and peck
      B7
Come supper time I'll go out there
A                          E
Find me one and wring its neck

[Verse 2]
E
It ain't meanness, ya'll
A                         E
It's just hungry's what I am
A
It ain't meanness, ya'll
                          E
It's just hungry's what I am
             B7
There ain't nothin' in this world
A                               E
Better than fried chicken, yes ma'am

[Verse 3]
E
And if it rains today
A                            E
Oh, the back yard'll turn to mud
       A
If it rains today
                              E
Oh, the back yard'll turn to mud
       B7
If it don't, it won't
A                          E
Either way, won't rile my blood

[Verse 4]
E
I'm sittin' on the porch swing
A                              E
Watchin' the sky and fiddlin' wood
     A
I'm sittin' on the porch swing
                               E
Watchin' the sky and fiddlin' wood
            B7
There's an old crow on the clothesline
A                              E
Countin' his toes and feelin' good

[Verse 5]
E
I got chickens in my front yard
A                            E
What they do is scratch and peck
