[E] [Em]
And a million in a drop-dead suit Dutch pick [B] on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but [Bm] the gun won't shoot I'm in [Em] the corner in the pouring rain
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest And I've been drinking from [F#m] a broken cup
[B] Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest I pull a bourbon and I can't [C#] stand up
[Am] Hey little [Em] birds fly away home [B] Your house is [Em] on fire, your children are alone
[Am] [Em] [B] [Em]
Chipper broke a bottle on Morgan's head And I've been stepping [B] on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a fool's hair Through the bars [Em] of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple night Flamingo drinking [B] from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife Coming by the views [Em] from the top of the [Am] mast
Hey little [Em] birds fly away home [B] Your house is on [Em] fire, your children are alone
[Am] Hey little [Em] birds fly away [B] home Your house is on [Em] fire, your children are alone

[Am] [Em] [B] [Em]
Yellow sheets and a Hong Kong bed Stacey born [B] horn in a slinger land ride
Through the carnival is what she said A hundred dollars [Em] make it dark inside
Ed and a million in a cloudbed suit Dutch pick [B] on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot I'm in the corner [Em] in the pouring [Am] rain
Hey little [Em] birds fly away [B] home Your house is on [Em] fire, your children are alone
