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
