george jones – the bird lyrics
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
