Billy Joe Shaver
CHICKEN ON THE GROUND



Verse 1:
      G                                       C/G
 	 There's an old familiar hillside overlooking Emhouse,Texas
                 G                                   D
 	 Where i left some childhood memories layin' round
              G                              C/G
 	 I can almost hear the singing,i can still remember praying
                G                                D              G   
 	 At them old campground meetings eatin' chicken on the ground


Chorus:
      G            D                        G
 	 With them hallelujahs ringin',everybody shoutin',singin'
                                                               D
 	 Give me that old time religion,Jesus loves me,this i know
              G                               C/G
 	 When life was finger-lickin' good and God lived in our neighborhood
                G                                D              C/G 
 	 At them old campground meetin's eatin' chicken on the ground


Verse 2:
      G                                       C/G
 	 I can still remember feelin' all that happiness inside me
                 G                                   D  
 	 When i praised the Lord and laid my burdens down
                   G                              C/G     
 	 But that chicken must have tasted better than the word of God
                         G                              D               G
 	 'Cause it went slippin' through my fingers and rollin' on the ground


Chorus.


Verse 3:
      G                             C/G 
 	 I reckon everyone of us can call back or remember
 	           G                                 D  
 	 When the taste and smell of youth was all around
               G                         C/G 
 	 And i reckon in our own way everyone of us is payin' now
             G                                   D            G
 	 For eatin' chicken  and not listenin' to old Parson Brown


Chorus (x3).
