Chord/Tab song: Bird on a Wire

Bird On A Wire
Recorded by Reckless Kelly

Intro.: (D) x 4

He (Bm)offered them a good ride on to (F#m)help them save the family farm
For (D)ergo he was damn near good as (F#m)rain
Then (Bm)came the time for them to choose an (F#m)offer they could not refuse
With (D)easy-outs and capital (F#m)gain

No (Em)one has a suspicious feelin, you (F#m)really couldn't call it stealin'
He (D)did it with a style most would ad-(F#m)mire
But (Bm)he had picked 'em (G)off like a (A)bird on a (D)wire

(Chorus)
(G)He had open (A)fire on a (D)bird on a (G)wire
A (D)nudge a wink and (A)they'd be gettin' (Bm)higher
(G)He whipped out his (A)fountain pen, while the (D)tears were gettin' (G)drier
And (Bm)then he picked 'em (G)off like a (A)bird on a (D)wire

There (Em)ain't a kid with a BB gun or an (F#m)alley cat with room to run
Who could (A)bring 'em down like they was out for (F#m)hire
Yeah, (Bm)he could pick 'em (G)off like a (A)bird on a (D)wire

Inst.: (Em) (F#m) (D) (F#m) (Bm) (G) (A) (D)

(Bm)He went golfin' everyday, they (F#m)voted while he was away
Though (D)technically he's chairman of the (F#m)board
(Bm)They had become avaricious, (F#m)leavin' him to do the dishes
(D)They introduced him to his new land-(F#m)lord

Who (Em)told him his time came and went their (F#m)office in the orient
Would (D)send him checks for soon he would re-(F#m)tire
Yeah, (Bm)they had picked him (G)off like a (A)bird on a (D)wire

(Chorus)
(G)They had open (A)fire on the (D)bird on a (G)wire
(D)He was sleeping (A)they were getting (Bm)higher
They (G)polished up their (A)Macintosh while his (D)ass was in the (G)mire
And (Bm)then they picked him (G)off like a (A)bird on a (D)wire

There (Em)ain't a kid with a BB gun or an (F#m)alley cat with room to run
Who could (D)bring 'em down like they was out for (F#m)hire
Yeah, (Bm)they could pick 'em (G)off like a (A)bird on a (D)wire
