Bird on the Wire Leonard Cohen
Like a b[A]ird on the w[E]ire
Like a dr[A]unk in a 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 from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[D]If I, if I have been unk[A]ind
I h[Bm]ope that you can just let it go b[A]y
[D]If I, if I have been untr[A]ue
I h[Bm]ope you know it was never t[E]o yo[Esus4]u[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 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?"
Oh like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tr[A]ied in my w[E]ay to be fr[D]ee[A]
