Am F7 Em Am Em
[Verse]
Am
One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
Em Am Dm
He locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Eb
Down in the hen house, somethin' stirred
Bb
When he shouted, "Who's there?"
Bb
This is what he heard
[Chorus]
Em Am
"There ain't nobody here but us chickens
Am Em
There ain't nobody here at all
Cm
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
Em
There ain't nobody here but us
Em
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
Cm
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble with your chin"
Am
"There ain't nobody here but us chickens
Am
There ain't nobody here at all
Em Eb
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
Am
You're kickin' up an awful dust
Dm
We chicken's tryin' to sleep and you bust in
Am
And hobble, hobble hobble hobble, it's a sin"
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
"Tomorrow is a busy day
Gm Cm
We got things to do, We got eggs to lay
Am
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
Eb
It takes a lot of settin', gettin' chicks to hatch"
[Chorus]
Am
"Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
Em
Nobody here at all
Am Eb
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
Em
There ain't nobody here but us
Gm
Kindly point that gun the other way
Em Dm
And hobble, hobble hobble of and hit the hay"
