Tom: E

        E                     A
Well, I went on the mountain
       E                        B7
And gave my horn a blow
      E           A
Thought I heard some pretty gal say
      B7                       E
"Yonder come my beau"

E          A             E              A
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
E           A               B7
Crow black chicken and fly away
E          A            E                A
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
          B7      E
Honey I like chicken pie

             E               A
Well, the hardest work that ever I done
    E                B7
Is plowin' a field of rye
       E                    A
The easiest work that ever I done
        B7               E
Was eatin' chicken pie

E                   A
Chicken crow for midnight
       E                           B7
And chicken crow for a day
E                 A
Along come an owl, Lord, have mercy
      B7                       E    
And stole my chicken away

E
Me and my baby sugar mama built an a-frame
A
House ten stories high
           E                         A
And in every single story and in every single room
        B7                 E
We was eating chicken pie

E          A             E              A
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
E           A               B7
Crow black chicken and fly away
E          A            E                A
Crow black chicken and crow for a day
          B7      E
Honey I like chicken pie
