The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.
Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game".

CHICKENMAN (Amy Ray) --------------------
[Tuning: DADGBD] [Each chord is one measure.] [I mostly got these chords from the songbook, but I'm not sure they're right. The songbook had some blatant errors, so I can't really trust it.]
I was on the road to Austin, I met a man on the highway He sold me junk and conversation, he was wise and dirty from the weather
I said, "darkness into darkness, all the carnage of my journeys Makes it harder to be living;" he said, "it's a long road to be forgiven"
Csus9 GD5D5 And it's one more life for the taker, Chickenman, hold my hand Csus9 GD5D5D5 [stop] One more song for the maker (Chickenman, Chickenman, hold my hand)
I am an only child born of the wild Riddled to spend my time defending my land You are the only one born in the sun Riddled to spend your time defending my plan
