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