**Capo on the 3rd fret**
[Intro]
 G   D   Cx2
[Verse 1]
GI picked her up in a DJanuary storm
She was Gbreathing the coldest Cair she'd ever known
GCarrying the sun on her Fskin from a home far aCway
GI didn't know what she was Dleaving behind
But I could tGell from her face she had tCrouble in her mind
The yGears had been kind, but her eFyes didn't shine anyCmore
[Chorus]
She said Gdirty little birds with Ddirty little wings
That fGly through the night to Cother pretty things
I cGalled hime today and Dsaid I was lCeaving
Ooh dGirty little birds with Ddirty little claws
That sGcratch at my heart, saying lCove's forever
More the fGool I am for Fblindly believingC  
I was Dblindly believing
[Fill]
 G   D   Cx1
[Verse 2]
Well she Gtook off her coat, Dpulled out a chair
She Gfixes me with an eCmpty stare Em  
Says "FIt's sure wild out"C  
GSomething about the Dtremble in her voice
GToys with a man's eCasy choices
GTomorrow's choice will make Feverything alrCight
[Chorus]
She said Gdirty little birds with Ddirty little wings
That fGly through the night to Cother pretty things
I cGalled hime today and Dsaid I was lCeaving
Ooh dGirty little birds with Ddirty little claws
That sGcratch at my heart, saying lCove's forever
More the fGool I am for Fblindly believingC  
I was Dblindly believing
[Bridge]
EmIn a dream, in Ca web, in a Gbreath of poison Dwords, a Amcold wind howls
EmLove's a Gdirty, Amlittle Cdirty...
[Chorus]
She said Gdirty little birds with Ddirty little wings
That fGly through the night to Cother pretty things
I cGalled hime today and Dsaid I was lCeaving
Ooh dGirty little birds with Ddirty little claws
That sGcratch at my heart, saying lCove's forever
More the fGool I am for Fblindly believingC

[Intro]

G D C

[Verse 1]

G D

I picked her up in a January storm

G C

She was breathing the coldest air she'd ever known

G F C

Carrying the sun on her skin from a home far away

G D

I didn't know what she was leaving behind

G C

But I could tell from her face she had trouble in her mind

G F C

The years had been kind, but her eyes didn't shine anymore

[Chorus]

G D

She said dirty little birds with dirty little wings

G C

That fly through the night to other pretty things

G D C

I called hime today and said I was leaving

G D

Ooh dirty little birds with dirty little claws

G C

That scratch at my heart, saying love's forever

G F C

More the fool I am for blindly believing

I was blindly believing

[Fill]

G D C

[Verse 2]

G D

Well she took off her coat, pulled out a chair

G C Em

She fixes me with an empty stare

Something about the tremble in her voice

Toys with a man's easy choices

G F C

Tomorrow's choice will make everything alright
