[Tuning: DADGBD]
[Each chord is one measure.]
[I mostly got these chords from the songbook, but I'm not sure they're
right. The songbook had some blatant errors, so I can't really trust it.]
D5: 000230 D7sus: 000210, or maybe 005530? Csus9: 030030 G: 020000
D(4): 000030? D: 000234 Dsus: 000235
[Play the D5 (and possibly the D7sus, if you use the 000210 fingering)
with hammer-ons from 0 to 2 on the G string every now and then.]

Dead dog on the highway, median cats are growling at me

One more song for the maker, Chickenman
RE5 RE5 RE5 RE7sus
On the road to Athens, I saw a dead deer on the highway
RE5 RE5 RE7sus RE5 RE5
I slipped into a desert, five prairie dogs and a rabbit
I was running down on Queen Street, I saw a woman on the sidewalk
She was beaten by a stranger, danger danger danger
DOsus9 SOL RE5 RE5
And it's one more life for the taker, Chickenman, hold my hand
DOsus9 SOL RE5 RE5
One more song for the maker (Hold my hand, Chickenman)

[instrumental]
I was on the road to Austin, I met a man on the highway
He sold me junk and conversation, he was wise and dirty from the weather
I said, "darkness into darkness, all the carnage of my journeys
Makes it harder to be living;" he said, "it's a long road to be forgiven"
DOsus9 SOL RE5 RE5
And it's one more life for the taker, Chickenman, hold my hand
Csus9 G D5 D5 D5 [stop]
One more song for the maker (Chickenman, Chickenman, hold my hand)
I am an only child born of the wild
Riddled to spend my time defending my land
You are the only one born in the sun
Riddled to spend your time defending my plan

RE5 RE5
I went looking for a car, found myself beneath the stars
RE5 RE5
I went looking for a girl, found a man and his world
RE5 - RE5/MI RE5/FA# - RE5/DO
Chickenman, chickenman, chickenman, hold my hand
RE5 - RE5/MI RE5/FA# - RE5/DO
Chickenman, chickenman, chickenman, hold my hand [repeat until ending]
