INTRO: G5
C5 D5 G5
Yeah a chicken wakes up to a new world every day
C5 D5 G5
Far as a chicken's concerned everything's a-okay
C5 D5 G5 D5
Ah a chicken don't worry 'bout nothin' but cluckin' and the price of eggs today
N.C. D5
And don't worry much about that
C5 D5
'Cause what the farmer don't snatch before she can hatch
G5
Ah the weasle gonna steal 'em anyway
G5 D5 G5
Ah a chicken wakes up to a new world every day
C5 D5
You reckon a chicken ever finds herself frettin'
G5
About gettin' old or ugly or fat?
C5 D5
I know a chicken's kinda dim but I'm goin' out on a limb
G5
I'd say a chicken's smarter'n that
C5 D5
Hell a chicken's just happy bein' one of them chickens
G5
That ain't one of them chickens in every pot
C5 D5
You know a chicken knows that half of bein' happy's just bein' happy with what ya got
C5 D5
And the other half of bein' happy's just bein' happy no matter what
C5 D5
People life is short, time's a-tickin
G/
If you wanna live like a king gotta think like a chicken
C5 D5 G5
Oh and a chicken wakes up to a new world everyday
C5 D5 G5
Far as a chicken's concerned everything's a-okay
C5 D5 G5 D5
Ah a chicken don't worry 'bout nothin' but cluckin' and the price of eggs today
N.C. D5
That's eggs, a-G-G-G-G-G-s, and don't worry much about that
C5 D5
'Cause what the farmer don't snatch before she can hatch
G5
Ah the weasle gonna steal 'em anyway
G5 D5 G5
Ah a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day
E5 C5
Poor old chicken don't get no respect
G5 D5
They're either swipin' her eggs or fryin' her legs or tryin' to ring her neck
C5
Well a chicken understands her position and knows in this current condition
It ain't gonna change so she made a decision to roost every evenin'
D5
In the rusted out chassis of a beat up Chevrolet
C5 D5 G5
And just wake up to a new world every day, yodel-ay
C5 D5 G5
Oh a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day
C5 D5 G5
Far as a chicken's concerned everything's a-okay
C5 D5 G5 D5
Ah a chicken don't worry 'bout nothin' but cluckin' and the price of eggs today
N.C. D5
And don't worry much about that
C5 D5
'Cause what the farmer don't snatch before she can hatch
G5
Hell the weasle gonna steal 'em anyway
G5 D5
A chicken wakes up to a new world
C5 D5
A chicken wakes up to a new world
G5 D5 G5 C5
Ah a chicken buck-wakes up to a new world every day
G5 D5 G5 C5
Oh a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day, alright
G5 D5 G5
Hey a chicken wakes up to a whole new world every day
