Em
Edna Millon in a drop dead suit
B7
Dutch pink in a downtown train
Two dollar pistol, but the gun won't shoot
Em
I'm in the corner in the pouring rain
16 men on a deadman's chest
B7
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pair of pants and a mohair vest
Em
I'm full of burbon; I can't stand up
CHORUS CHORDS:
Am Em B7

Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
The SOLO and Ribot's licks over the verses are all playing off of the INTRO RIFF. With
it is all about tone. Move the riff up the fretboard to try to get some of the licks.

| If you love this song, you owe it to yourself to watch "Strangers on a Train". I feel certain that it served as inspiration for this song. | |

| just wanna add that is also on the beggining of "Things to do in Denver when you are dead", it's a travelling too but with palms instead of houses from a depressing neighbourhood. incredible song as usual in him | |

| If you've ever seen "Down By Law", this is the song you hear in the beginning of the movie, and it's the best video-clip you can hope for this one, speaking of movies, Waits stars in down by law (you may wanna see coffee and cigarettes too) Waits's Movie appearances are simply unforgettable. (It sure helps if you're a fan :) ) | |

| This song feels like something from a film-noir movie. I could see this song in the background of a movie like A Touch of Evil. | |
