The rythm you will have to find on your own.  The only way I can describe
it is (bump bump ba-dump bump).  I learn this from a friend of mine who
put his on a record.  If you would like a copy you can contact him at TALL

Dixie Chicken
Lowell George
Capo 2 to play with record

Intro
F# --> G                                                        D
I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel

and underneath a street lamp I met a southern belle
                                                   
And she took me to the river and there she cast her spell

and underneath the moonlight she sang this song so well

CHORUS
                                              
If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I''ll be your Tennessee Lamb
                                     
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
             
Down in Dixieland

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 don't 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, it's 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
