Reckless Kelly – Bird On A Wire (Guitar)

   Bm                             F#m
He offered them a good ride on to help them save the family farm

    D                             F#m
For ergo he was damn near good as rain

     Bm                                  F#m
Then came the time for them to choose an offer they could not refuse

     D                     F#m
With easy-outs and capital gain

   Em                               F#m
No one has a suspicious feelin, you really couldn't call it stealin'

   D                                  F#m
He did it with a style most would ad- mire

    Bm                G          A         D
But he had picked 'em off like a bird on a wire

G           A         D         G
He had open fire on a bird on a wire

  D                A                 Bm
A nudge a wink and they'd be gettin' higher

G                  A                       D                  G
He whipped out his fountain pen, while the tears were gettin' drier

    Bm                 G          A         D
And then he picked 'em off like a bird on a wire

      Em                              F#m
There ain't a kid with a BB gun or an alley cat with room to run

          A                                    F#m
Who could bring 'em down like they was out for hire

      Bm                G          A         D
Yeah, he could pick 'em off like a bird on a wire

Bm                             F#m
He went golfin' everyday, they voted while he was away

       D                                F#m
Though technically he's chairman of the board

Bm                          F#m
They had become avaricious, leavin' him to do the dishes

D                                    F#m
They introduced him to his new land- lord

    Em                                    F#m
Who told him his time came and went their office in the orient

      D                                     F#m
Would send him checks for soon he would re- tire

      Bm                  G          A         D
Yeah, they had picked him off like a bird on a wire

G             A           D         G
They had open fire on the bird on a wire

D               A                 Bm
He was sleeping they were getting higher

     G                 A                   D              G
They polished up their Macintosh while his ass was in the mire

    Bm                   G          A         D
And then they picked him off like a bird on a wire

      Em                              F#m
There ain't a kid with a BB gun or an alley cat with room to run

          D                                    F#m
Who could bring 'em down like they was out for hire

      Bm                  G          A         D
Yeah, they could pick 'em off like a bird on a wire
