Song : D#

Intro :
Am B7 Em

Em
Edna Million in a drop-dead suit
B7
Dutch pink on a downtown train

Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
Em
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain

16 men on a deadman's chest
B7
And I've been drinking from a broken cup

Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
Em
I'm full of bourbon; I can't stand up


Chorus :

Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone

Em
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
B7
And I've been stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
Em
Through the bars of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
B7
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Em
Come admire the view from up on top of the mast


Chorus :

Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone

Verse Instru :

I>Chorus :

Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone

Verse :
Em
Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
B7
Stayzbo horn and a Slingerland ride
"To the carnival" is what she said
Em
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside
Edna Million in a drop-dead suit
B7
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
Em
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain

I>Chorus :

Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
