Verse:
           G
I seen the bright lights of Memphis
                  D
And the Commodore Hotel
And it was there beneath the streetlamp
                       G
Where I met a southern belle
         C              G
Well she took me to the river
                   D
Where she cast her spell
And it was 'neath that Memphis moonlight
                      G
She sang this song so well

Chorus;
          G
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
                       D
I'll be yout Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
        G
Down in Dixie land
        G
Down in Dixie land

Solo:

Verse:
We hit all the hotspots
My money flowed like wine
till the lowdown southern whiskey
Began to fog my mind
Well I don't remember church bells
Or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk
At the house on the edge of town
Now but boy do I remember
The strain of her refrain
And the nights we spent together
And the way she called by name

Repeat Chorus

It's been a year since she ran away
Guess that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
He was always handy with a song
Then one night in the lobby
Of the Commodore Hotel
I by chance met 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

Repeat Chorus (twice)
