[Verse 1]
G D
Eligible, not too stupid,
F C
intelligible and cute as Cupid,
G D
knowledgeable, but not always right,
F C
salvageable and free for the night.
[Chorus]
G
Well my heart's running round
C
like a chicken with its head cut off,
D
all around the barnyard
C G
falling in and out of love.
C D G
The poor thing's blind as a bat
C
getting up, falling down, getting up.
D C
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
G
with its head cut off?
[Verse 2]
(Whoa, Nellie)
G D
My wife doesn't understand me.
F C
Many dozens hope to land me.
G D
I'm for free love, and I'm in free fall.
F C
This could be love or nothing at all.
[Chorus]
G
Well my heart's running round
C
like a chicken with its head cut off,
D
all around the barnyard
C G
falling in and out of love.
C D G
The poor thing's blind as a bat
C
getting up, falling down, getting up.
D C
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
G
with its head cut off?
[Bridge]
C
We don't have to be stars
D
exploding in the night
G Em
or electric eels under the covers.
C
We don't have to be
D G
anything quite so unreal
Em
Let's just be lovers.
[Chorus]
G
Well my heart's running round
C
like a chicken with its head cut off,
D
all around the barnyard
C G
falling in and out of love.
C D G
The poor thing's blind as a bat
C
getting up, falling down, getting up.
D C
Who'd fall in love with a chicken
G
with its head cut off?
C D G
(It ain't pretty)
