Bird On The Wire

[D] [A] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D]

Like a [D]bird on a [A]wire
Like a [D]drunk in a midnight [G]choir
I have [D]tried in my [A]way
To be [D]free

Like a [D]worm on a [A]hook
Like a [D]knight from some old-fashioned [G]book
I have [D]saved all my [A]ribbons
    [D]    ([Dsus4] [D])*
For thee

If [G]I have been un[D]kind
       [Em]                      [D]  ([Dsus4] [D])*
I hope you will just let it go by
And if [G]I have been un[D]true
           [Em]                   [A]   ([Asus4] [A])*
I hope you know it was not unto you

Like a [D]baby still[A]born
Like a [D]beast with it's [G]horns
I have [D]torn every [A]one
                    [D]   ([Dsus4] [D])*
And reached out for thee

Let us [D]swear by this [A]song
And by [D]all I have done [G]wrong
That I [D]will make it [A]all
      [D]   ([Dsus4] [D])*
Up to thee

        [G]                     [D]           ([Dsus4] [D])*
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden cross
        [Em]                   [D]        ([Dsus4] [D])*
He said to me do not ask for someone?
And a [G]woman standing in her [D]darkened door
    [Em]                               [A]    ([Asus4] [A])*
She cried to me hey, why not ask for more?

Like a [D]bird on a [A]wire
Like a [D]drunk in a midnight [G]choir
I have [D]tried in my [A]way
To be [D]free
