[Verse 1]
C/G
I curse the day she bought me that old bird

                                               G
Squalking, talking, telling everything it ever heard

C/G                                  F
She never would have known about Big Betty Brown and me

    C/G                            G                  C
But he fowled up and told her some things you won't believe
[Verse 2]
C/G
Oh, my woman moved out on me today

                                                       G
And left that old stool pigeon parrot trembling in his cage

C/G                                 F
I hollered from the front porch and stopped her at the curb

        C/G          G                C/G
And the last thing I gave her was the bird
[Chorus]
C/G                                   F
Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird

                                               C/G
And she returned the favor with a few selected words

F                                          C/G
I don't have to worry now what's being overheard

           C/G          G                C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird
[Verse 3]
C/G
She sat the cage beside her on the seat

                                                 G
And left two streaks of firestone smokin' on the street

C/G                                     F
The neighbors ran for cover, they could see she was disturbed

C/G                     G                C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird
[Chorus]
C/G                                   F
Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird

                                               C/G
And she returned the favor with a few selected words

F                                          C/G
I don't have to worry now what's being overheard

           C/G          G                C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird

C/G                                   F
Oh, the last thing I gave her was the bird

                                               C/G
And she returned the favor with a few selected words

F                                          C/G
I don't have to worry now what's being overheard

           C/G          G                C/G
'cause the last thing I gave her was the bird

C/G                    G                C/G
Yeah, the last thing I gave her was the bird
