[E]
[B]
I'm dead soon.
Now I'm chipping on a downtown train.
Two dollar pistol, but the gun won't shoot.
[F#] I'm [B] in the corner on the wall.
Sixteen metal and a dead man's chest.
And I've been drinking from a broken cup.
Two packs of pants and a movie office.
I'm full of [Em] bourbon, I can't stand up.
[Am] Hey, little bird, [Em]
fly away.
[B] Your house is on fire, chill out.
[E] Hey, little bird, fly [B] away.
[Em] Your child is alone.
She broke a bar on Morgan's Hill.
And I'm stepping [B] on the devil's tail.
Across the stripes of a full moon's hill.
And through the bars of a Cuban jail.
[Em] I left [B] fingers on a broken knife.
I'm getting a drink from a cocktail glass.
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife.
And I'm on [Em]
top of the [E] mast.
Hey, little bird, fly away.
[B] Your house is on fire, [Em]
chill out.
[A] Hey, little bird, [Em]
fly away.
[B] Your house is on fire, [Em]
chill out.
Hey, [F#m]

[A] little [Em] bird, fly away.
[B] Your house is on [Em] fire, chill out.
[Am] Hey, little bird, [E]
fly away.
[B] Your house is on fire, [Em]
chill out.
She's so hot.
She's a ball [B] of skin and red.
Tooth color is what she said.
All the dollars [Em] makes her talk inside.
Hit the man and I dropped this.
[Bm] She's drinking [B] on a downtown drink.
She's got a pistol but the gun won't shoot.
I'm in the corner [Em] on the [E] wall.
Hey, little bird, [B] fly away.
Your [F#] house is on fire, [Em] chill out.
[Am] Hey, little [Em] bird, fly away.
[B] Your house is on fire, [Em]
chill [B] out.
