Bird on the Wire Leonard Cohen
Tuning: D G C F A D (standard, full step down)
Intro
([A]"Comme l'oiseau sur la branche
Comme l'ivrogne dans le coeur de la nuit
J'ai cherche ma liberte")
[A] [E] [A] [D]
[A] [E] [A] [Asus4] [A]
Like a b[A]ird on the w[E]ire
Like a dr[A]unk in some midnight ch[D]oir
I have tr[A]ied in my w[E]ay to be fr[A]ee[Asus4] [A]
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight bent down in some old fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of our love twisted me
[D]If I, if I have been unk[A]ind
I h[Bm]ope you can, I hope you can just let it all go b[A]y, go by
[D]And if I, if I have been untr[A]ue
It's just that I th[Bm]ought a lover had to be some kind of liar t[E]oo[Esus4] [E]
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, he was leaning on his wooden crutch
He says to me, "Come on now, you must not ask for so much "
And another pretty woman, she was leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me, "Come on now, why don't you ask,
Why don't you ask for just a little more?
Just a little more?"
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in some old midnight choir
I have tr[A]ied in my w[E]ay to be fr[D]ee[A]
