The Bird

(início)

Capo on the 3rd fret.
Verse 1:
        C/G
        I curse the day she bought me that old bird
                                                      G
        Squalking,talking,telling everything it ever heard
        C/G                                   F
        She never would have known about Big Betty Brown and me
            C/G                              G                 C/G
        But he fowled up and told her some things you won't believe
Verse 2:
        C/G
        Oh my woman moved out on me today
                                                                G
        And left that old stool pigeon parrot trembling in his cage
        C/G                                   F
        I hollered from the front porch and stopped her at the curb
            C/G               G                C/G
        And the last thing i gave her was the bird
Chorus:
        C/G                                   F
        Oh the last thing i gave her was the bird
                                                        C/G
        And she returned the favor with a few selected words
         F                                          C/G
        I don't have to worry now what's being overheard
                                 G                C/G
        'cause the last thing i gave her was the bird
Verse 3:
        C/G
        She sat the cage beside her on the seat
                                                            G
        And left two streaks of firestone smokin' on the street
        C/G                                   F
        The neighbors ran for cover they could see she was disturbed
         C/G                     G                C/G
        'cause the last thing i gave her was the bird
Chorus (x2).
        C/G                   G                C/G
        Yes the last thing i gave her was the bird
