Edit By: 216.73.217.162

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/G
 	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
                                  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 (x2).

C/G                   G                C/G 
 	Yes the last thing i gave her was the bird
