E
When I first met you baby,  You fed me on chicken and wine
E                              A                 E
It was steak and potatos, and babe I sure felt fine
 E
But now all you feed me if the seaweed and the alfalfa sprouts
 A
sunflower seeds and I got my doubts
          E       C#m  F#m              B      E
Baby you left me here with the chicken cordon blues


[Verse II]

  E
My stomach's empty and all I got is food for thought
  E
I've been sittin' here thinking
           A                              E
Bout' the twenty pounds of groceries we bought
  E
We bought ten pounds of wild rice, five more of beans
  A
five pounds of granola and you know what that means
       E                    C#m      F#m      B     E
I'm a regular fella,  and I got the chicken cordon blues


[Verse III]

  E
I'm starved for affection and I don't think I can stand no more
  E
this stuff is so strange the cockroaches moved next door
           A
don't you see that old dog standing out there in the street
      E
with a big smile on his face cause they let him eat meat
  E        C#m   F#m           B
And i got you, And I got the chicken
  E    C#m  F#m            B
I got you, And I got the chicken
  E               C#m      F#m      B     E
I got you,  and I got the chicken cordon blues
