[Intro]

G G D D

G G Bm A



[Verse]

D G D
There´s a bird making coffee in the kitchen
D G D
And there´s a rifle out back smoking cigarettes
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 meant to fly



[Chorus]

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
G Bm A
Something about the bird in 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



[Chorus]

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
G Bm A
Something about the bird in her spreading those wings
G D
Always brings the rifle out in him



[Bridge]

G D
Uu uu u uuu u u uuu uuuu
G Bm A
Uu uu u uuu u u uuu uuuu



[Verse 4]

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



[Bridge]

G D
Uu uu u uuu u u uuu uuuu
G Bm A
Uu uu u uuu u u uuu uuuu
