[Verse]
Am G
Night so still, silent the Whippoorwill
Em F G
And down by the river a sweet moaning can be heard
Am G
A moon so thin, milk on their skin
Em F Am
Whispering betrayal, Love's a dirty little bird
[Chorus]
C/G
He's a dirty little bird with dirty little wings
F
That fly across the night on high to other pretty things
Dm G
Down by the river, sweet moaning can be heard
F Em Am
It's telling me my love's a dirty little bird
[Verse]
Am G
It was long ago I was young and fine
Em F G
When he took me by the hand and promised that his heart'd be mine
Am G
We prayed for a son, I could bear him none
Em F Am
Barren and bitter love's a dirty little bird
[Chorus]
C/G
He's a dirty little bird with dirty little claws
F
That prance and creep and pleasure seek behind the bedroom doors
Dm G
And he gives out all the tenderness I yearn
F Em Am
For, My love's a dirty little bird
[Chorus]
C/G
Dirty little birds got dirty little eyes
F
That bare my soul -it's a heavy toll
And tell me I should wise up and
Dm G
Heed all the lessons I could learn
F Em Am
My love's a dirty little bird
[Verse]
Am G
A womans heart can be broken some
Em F G
And her mind and her spirit they will see her overcome
Am G
But break a womans pride and woe to you
Em
You'd better go and grab your gun man
F Am
There's no telling what she'll do
[Chorus]
C/G
Dirty little birds got dirty little beaks
F
That peck and pry the wretched lies
For revenge that they seek
Dm G
And she's walking down the path of no return
F Em Am
Woe to that Dirty Little bird
[Interlude]
C/G
You take my heart and you take my time
F
You leave my soul without grace or pride
Dm G
You take what's yours and you break what's mine
Em F Am
You take and you take
[Chorus]
C/G
Dirty little bird got dirty little wings
F
That fly across the night on high to other pretty things
Dm G
Down by the river sweet moaning can be heard
F
It's telling me
Em Am
My love's a dirty little bird
