  ********************** THE BIRD ********************

  

  performed by George Jones.

  

  

  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
