A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off

G         D
Eligible, not too stupid,
  F              C
intelligible and cute as Cupid,
G                  D
knowledgeable, but not always right,
F               C
salvageable and free for the night.

[Chorus]

        G
Well my heart's running round
                                  C
like a chicken with its head cut off,
     D
all around the barnyard
        C             G
falling in and out of love.
    C    D       G
The poor thing's blind as a bat
                                  C
getting up, falling down, getting up.
      D                   C
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
                   G
with its head cut off?

[Verse 2]
(Whoa, Nellie)

G               D
My wife doesn't understand me.
F           C
Many dozens hope to land me.
G                      D
I'm for free love, and I'm in free fall.
F                     C
This could be love or nothing at all.

[Chorus]

        G
Well my heart's running round
                                  C
like a chicken with its head cut off,
     D
all around the barnyard
        C             G
falling in and out of love.
    C    D       G
The poor thing's blind as a bat
                                  C
getting up, falling down, getting up.
      D                   C
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
                   G
with its head cut off?

[Bridge]

                    C
We don't have to be stars
         D
exploding in the night
    G                      Em
or electric eels under the covers.
         C
We don't have to be
D                   G
anything quite so unreal
              Em
Let's just be lovers.

[Chorus]

        G
Well my heart's running round
                                  C
like a chicken with its head cut off,
     D
all around the barnyard
        C             G
falling in and out of love.
    C    D       G
The poor thing's blind as a bat
                                  C
getting up, falling down, getting up.
      D                   C
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
                   G
with its head cut off?

                 C D G
(It ain't pretty)
