[Verse]
Em
Edna Millon in a drop dead suit
                B7
Dutch pink in a downtown train

Two dollar pistol, but the gun won't shoot
                         Em
I'm in the corner in the pouring rain

16 men on a deadman's chest
                             B7
And I've been drinking from a broken cup

Two pair of pants and a mohair vest
                      Em
I'm full of burbon; I can't stand up

[Chorus Chords]
      Am      Em       B7

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone

[Verse]
Em
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
                    B7
I'm stepping on the devil's tail

Across the stripes of a full moon's head
                           Em
All through the bar's of a Cuban jail

Bloody finger's on a purple knife
                         B7
Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass

I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
                         Em
Admire the view from the top of the mast

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone

[Verse]
Em
Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
                   B7
Stazybo horn and a slingerland ride

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

Edna Millon in a drop dead suit
                B7
Dutch pink in a downtown train

Two dollar pistol, but the gun won't shoot
                         Em
I'm in the corner in the pouring rain

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am                   Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
     B7                Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone



The Solo and Ribot's licks over the verses are all playing off of the Intro Riff. With 
it is all about tone. Move the riff up the fretboard to try to get some of the licks.
