Bird on the Wire Fairport Convention
Bird On The Wire chords
Fairport Convention (Leonard Cohen)
Capo IV
[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
