I took the liberty of combining the two, with a few changes, and here is the result:<br /><br />[Am] A chicken farmer walked outside one [C] dark and windy day<br />[Am] And by the coop he rested as he [C] went along his way<br />[Am] When all at once a rotten egg flew right into his eye<br />[F] It was the sight he dreaded most -- [Am] ghost chickens in the sky!<br /><br />Yippee-i-[C]-ay, yippee-i-[Am]-oh. [F] Ghost chickens in the [Am] sky!<br /><br />This farmer had raised chickens since the age of twenty four,<br />a-workin’ with the Colonel for thirty years or more<br />He’s been killin’ all those chickens and sending them to fry.<br />And now they want complete revenge, ghost chickens in the sky!<br /><br />Their beaks were black and shining and their eyes were burning red<br />They had no meat or feathers ‘cuz these chickens they were dead!<br />They tore apart that farmer with frightful beak and claw<br />Then cooked him extra crispy... (pause for dramatic effect) <br />and ate him with coleslaw!<br /><br />Yippee-i-[C]-ay, yippee-i-[Am]-oh. [F] Ghost chickens in the [Am] sky!<br /><br />[Am] So farmers, a reminder, if you [C] want eternal peace<br />[Am] Choose milk and eggs and vegetables, not [C] chickens fried in grease.<br />[Am] Avoid a henpecked future -- zombie chickens can’t be killed.<br />[F] Dead poultry might attack you – but [Am] soybeans never will!<br /><br />Yippee-i-[C]-ay, yippee-i-[Am]-oh. [F] Ghost chickens in the [Am] sky!<br />(Repeat “Ghost chickens in the sky” twice more, with high note at end)<br /><br />Glenn Kerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416616251318476878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-23084494603515121892013-10-16T16:33:24.176+01:002013-10-16T16:33:24.176+01:00Here's the rarely covered 4th verse of Ghost C...Here's the rarely covered 4th verse of Ghost Chickens:<br /><br />So [Am]let this song remind you, if [C]you want eternal peace<br />[Am]Don't raise harmless poultry, for [C]cookin' up in [E7]grease<br />Re[Am]member don't raise animals, that you will some day kill<br />For [F]chickens may come haunt you... but tofu never [Am]willKenhttps://sites.google.com/site/islandukeclub/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-54220183496584119622011-03-17T19:29:54.557+00:002011-03-17T19:29:54.557+00:00Nice one Robert! lolNice one Robert! lolBarry Mazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731777711884288947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-31378689486416618542011-03-17T19:09:45.151+00:002011-03-17T19:09:45.151+00:00I play this song like this...
