Well,
G 
I  shot
D 
Em 
C 
a little bird and I feel kind of bad
G 
D 
But he told you all of my secrets
Em 
C 
that I   wish he never had
G 
D 
He told you about where I
Em 
C 
sneak away at night
G 
D 
Chirped in your ears,
Em 
C 
G 
he told you my lies
D 
Em 
I shot him while he slept in his nest,
C 
sweet and tight
G 
D 
I shot him in the wing
Em 
D 
C 
so he couldn't go and fly
G 
D 
Em 
I shot him while he slept in his nest,
C 
sweet and tight
G 
D 
Shot him in the wing
Em 
C 
so he  couldn't go and fly
G 
D 
I shot him and I  shot him
Em

I fell against the tree
Em

Em 
C 
and tell you my wrongs
G

Though I hated him for telling,
Em 
C 
I loved that he would
G 
D 
I'll never sing,
Em 
C 
never sing like he could
G 
D 
Em 
C 
Hated him for telling, I loved that he would
G 
D 
Em 
C 
I'll never sing, never sing like he could
G 
D 
I hated him for telling,
Em 
C 
I loved that he would
G 
D 
Em 
Cause I'll never sing like that little bird,
C 
G 
D 
Em 
C 
could
G 
D 
Em 
Well I  shot a little bird, yes you're right
C 
G 
It's so sad, but it's done
D 
Em 
D 
C 
And I did it cause I had to have him dead
