[Fm] [C] [Bbm]
There are small licks which are played behind the vocal line during the verses,
anything in the key of F minor will work just fine.
This riff is played a few times throughout the song.
Verse 1
[Fm] [C][Fm]
Edna million in a drop dead suit, Dutch pink on a downtown train
Fm c Fm
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot, I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
[Fm] [C][Fm]
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest, I been drinking from the broken cup
[Fm] [C][Fm]
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest, I'm full of bourbon and i can't stand up
Chorus 1
[Bb] [Fm]
Hey little bird , fly away home
[C] [Fm]
Your house is on fire , your children alone
[Bb] [Fm]
Hey little bird , you fly away home
[C] [Fm]
Your house is on fire , your children alone
Back to intro riff with small change..
After this is played once it does a different lick at the end, listenn for timing.
Verse 2
[Fm] [C] [Fm]
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head, I'm stepping on the devil's tail
[Fm] [C][Fm]
Across the stripes of a full moon's head, All through the bar's of a Cuban jail
[Fm] [C] [Fm]
Bloody finger's on a purple knife, Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
[Fm] [C][Fm]
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife, Admire the view from the top of the mast

Verse 3

Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed, Stazybo horn and a slingerland ride

To the carnival is what she said, A couple hundred dollars makes it dark inside
