On a Perch (A. Davis)

Eb Bb Eb Bb
Well, I got a flask here. It’s half empty
Eb Bb Bbsus2 Eb Ebadd4
Cuz I drank it, looking for company
Eb Bb Eb Bb
It was given, the company
Eb Bb Gm Eb Bb
But I didn’t take it, pent-up gonna bury me

But then I owned it, came back around
It’s not worth it, the bust and the boom will drown you

Yeah, let’s face it. It’s a drinkin town.
And I like drinkin, temptation to shakedown Riff 1

CH
F
Sittin still on a perch, trapped in a cage
Bb Riff 1
Might get nudged, might get blown away
Still on a perch, trapped in a cage
This bird’s flyin low, gotta turn the page

Chord walk Bb Bb/g Bb/Ab/C Bb/A/Db F7 F7(#9)

Well, we got a bottle here, it’s half full
Cuz we sipped it, chasin fish like bulls

We like to bird-dog words on a page
I don’t mind sayin it gets better with age

CH [no end walk] → SOLOs over CH [no end walk] → CH →
Well I got a flask here
