Chicken Hearted
Recorded by Jim Reeves
Written by Jim Reeves, Al Courtney & Macy Lela Henry
G
It seems you’re always
D7
wondering
why
With love you can’t get
G
started
Come and let me
D7
tell you why
You’re to chicken
G
hearted
I
C
know you have a yen for men
But
G
you’re afraid you’ll offend
Some
A7
old time tried and true blue friend
D7
Then you’d be all alone again
G
Somehow you just don’t
D7
seem to know
The very thing that
G
you let go
Is just the thing that
D7
you love so
You’re to chicken
G
hearted
You just can’t be to
D7
shy and weak
And soft hearted
G
so to speak
Forget the things you
D7
did last week
Cause that’s being chicken
G
hearted
I
C
know you’d like to say so long
To
G
things that you’ve done wrong
A7
Find yourself a brand new love
D7
To make your heart go bong
G
I sometimes wonder
D7
what you’d do
If someone should
G
say to you
Just let’s pitch a
D7
little
woo
You’re to chicken
G
hearted
Repeat last two verses
