Bird on the Wire  Leonard Cohen

"(1)
Like a [D]bird on a [A]wire, like a dru[F#m]nk in a midnight cho[G]ir
I have [D]tried in my [A]way to be [D]free
Like a [D]fish on a [A]hook, like a [F#m]knight from some old-fashioned b[G]ook
I have s[D]aved all my [A]ribbons for [D]thee
[G]If I, if I have been un[D]kind
[Em]I hope that you can just let it go [D]by
[G] If I, if I have been untr[D]ue,
[Em] I hope you know it was never to y[A]ou.
Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Like a b[D]ird on the w[A]ire, like a dr[F#m]unk in a midnight [G]choir
I have tr[D]ied in my w[A]ay to be [G]free[D]
"
