G# A E Iʼve seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel and underneath a street lamp I met a southern belle C C# D A E And she took me to the river and there she cast her spell and underneath the moonlight she sang this song so well Chorus: C C# A E If youʼll be my Dixie Chicken, Iʼʼll be your Tennessee Lamb A D A And we can walk together down in Dixieland C C# A D A Down in Dixieland A D A E 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 donʼt 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, itʼs 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
