[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][D][G][C][Cm][C][G]
[C]
Edna [G]Million in a drop-dead

[Verse 1]
[C]
suit
[G]suit
[C]Dutch Pink on a dow[G]ntown train
Two-dollar pistol pistol but
the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner in the pouring [C]rain[G]
[C]Sixteen men on a dead man's che[G]st
[C]And I've been dri[G]nking
from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of bourbon,
I can[C]'t stand [Cm]up

[Verse 2]
[F]Hey little bird, fly away home
[C]Your [G]house is on fire,
your chil[C]dren [Cm]are alone
[F]Hey little bir[C]d, fly away hom[G]e
Your house is on fire,
your children [C]are alone[G][F]
Schif[C]fer broke [G]a bottle on

[Verse 3]
[C]
Morgan's head
And I've been stepping
on [G]the Devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
And through the bars of [C]a Cuban [G]jail
[Cm]Bloody finge[C]rs[Cm] on a [C]purple knife[G]
[C]Flamingo drinking from a c[G]ocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone
else's wife
Admire the view from up on
[C]top of [Cm]the mast

[Verse 4]
[F]Hey little bird, [C]fly [G]away home
[C]Hou[G]se is on fire,
your chil[C]dren [Cm]are alone
[F]Hey little bird, fly[C] away home
[G]House is on fire, your children [Cm]are[G][C]
[Cm][G][C][Cm][C]
[G]alo[C]ne[Cm][D][G][Cm]

[Verse 5]
I [F]said hey little bird, [C]fly [G]away home
House is on [C]fire, your children
[Cm]are [F]alone
Hey little bird, [C]fly away home
[G]House is on fire,
your children [C]are [Cm]alon[C]e[Cm]
Yellow [C]sheets on [G]a Hong

[Verse 6]
[Cm]
[G]Kong [C]bed[G][Cm][C]
Stazy[G]bo horn and a Slingerland ride
"To the carnival" is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it [C]dark [Cm]in side
[C]Edna Million in a drop-dead

[Verse 7]
[G]suit
suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol pistol but
the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner in the [C]pour[Cm]ing rain

[Verse 8]
[F]Hey [Fm]little [F]bir[C]d, fly away h[G]ome
Your house is on fire,
your chil[Cm]dren [C]are alone[Cm]
[F]Hey little bird, fly[C] awa[Cm]y hom[C]e
[G]Your house is on fire,
your [C]children are alone
