G G Bm A
[Verse 1]
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]

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
