Bird On A Wire
Recorded by Reckless Kelly
[Intro]
D x 4
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
Em F#m D F#m Bm G A D
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
[Chorus]
G A D G
They had open fire on the bird on a wire
D A Bm
He was sleeping they were getting higher
