The Bird

• C/G

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
