Verse 2
He's a (C major) dirty little bird
with dirty little wings
That fly (F major) across the night on high
to other pretty things
Down by the (D minor) river,
sweet moaning can be (G major) heard
It's telling (F major) me my love's
a dirty (E major) (E minor) little (A minor) bird
Verse 3
It was long (A minor) ago I was young and fine (G major)
When he took (E minor) me by the hand and
promised (F major) that his heart'd be mine
(G major) We prayed for a son, (A minor)
I could bear him (E minor) none
(D minor) Barren and bitter love's
a dirty (F major) little bird
(A minor)
Verse 4
He's a (C major) dirty little bird
with dirty (A minor) little claws
(C major) That prance (F major) and creep
and pleasure seek
Behind the bedroom doors
And he gives (D minor) out all the tenderness I (G major) yearn
(F major) My love's a dirty (E minor) little (A minor) bird
Interlude 1
(A minor) (G major)
(E minor) (F major) (G major) (A minor)
(G major) (E minor) (F major) (G major)
Verse 5
(C major) Dirty little birds got dirty little eyes
That bare (F major) my soul - it's a heavy toll
And tell me I should wise up and
(D minor) heed all the lessons I (G major) could learn
(F major) My love's a (E minor) dirty (A minor) little bird
Verse 6
A womans (A minor) heart can be broken (G major) some
And her mind (E minor) and her spirit
they will (F major) see her overcome
(G major) But break a womans pride (A minor)
and woe to you (E minor)
You'd better (D minor) go and grab
your gun man
There's no (F major) telling what she'll (A minor) do
Verse 7
(C major) Dirty little birds got dirty (A minor) little (C major) beaks
That (F major) peck and pry the wretched lies
For revenge that they seek
And she's (D minor) walking down
the path of no re (G major) turn
Woe (F major) to that (E minor) Dirty Little (A minor) bird
Verse 8
You (C major) take my heart and you take my time
You (F major) leave my soul without grace or pride
You (D minor) take what's yours and
you (G major) break what's mine
You (F major) take (E minor) and you (A minor) take
Verse 9
(C major) Dirty little bird got dirty little wings
That fly (F major) across the night on high
to other pretty things
Down by the (D minor) river sweet
moaning can be (G major) heard
It's telling me
(F major) My love's a dirty (E minor) little bird
