Verse 

          D           G             D 
There´s a bird making coffee in the kitchen 
              D              G              D 
And there´s a rifle out back smoking cigarrettes 
A                              G 
He don´t ever really feel like talking 
                      D     G   D 
Don´t matter what she says 



verse 2 

        D              G                D 
And the bird is always dreaming out the window 
D               G             D 
Looking at that big wide open sky 
        A                      G 
And the rifle, he used to be a dreamer 
                      D     G   D 
But he wasn´t ment to fly 


G                                            Bm      A 
Something down, on the ground, won´t let her out and holds her in 
G                                           Bm   A 
He´s afraid if she flies, she'll never come home again 
D                                Bm              A 
Something about the bird and her spreading those wings 
G                              D 
Always brings the rifle out in him 




verse 3 

        D               G               D 
But the rifle loves the bird when she´s singing 
       D           G             D 
And he knows every word to every song 
        A                                      G 
And the bird, she loves the rifle, ´cause he´s dangerous, 
             D      G   D 
stubborn and strong 


G                                            Bm      A 
Something down, on the ground, won´t let her out and holds her in 
G                                           Bm   A 
He´s afraid if she flies, she'll never come home again 
D                                Bm              A 
Something about the bird and her spreading those wings 
G                              D 
Always brings the rifle out in him

verse 4 

    D                      G        D 
One night, when the autumn wind was perfect 
        D               G                  D 
And the rifle drank his whisky and went to bed 
       A                           G 
And he never even heard the window open 
                    D         
She ain´t come back in 



Bridge 
G               D
