Bird On The Wire

       E         B7
Like a bird on a wire
       E                   A      
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
  A7

       E           B7        E   
I have tried in my way to be free
    A   E   E7


       E         B7
Like a worm on a hook
       E                   
Like a knight from some old 
           A      A7
fashioned book
    E            B7           E  
The shape of our love twisted me
    A    E    E7


A                     E        E7
And if I have been un-kind
A                                 
I hope that you will just let it 
  E      E7
go by

And if I have been un-true
A                               B7
I hope you know it was never to you

       E              B7
Like a beast with his horn
       E          A     A7
Like a baby still-born
           E          B7      
Yeah, I've torn every-one who's 
                 E
reached out to me

      E             B7
But I swear by this song
   E               A      A7
By all I have done wrong
E              B7        E     A
I will make it all up to thee
   E   E7


A                                 
I saw a beggar leaning on his 
   E        E7
wooden crutch
A                                 
She said to me "Hey Josh, why ask 
       E       E7
for so much?"
A                                  
Saw my lady leaning on her bedroom 
E        E7
door
A                                 
She said to me "C’mon babe, why 
          B7
not ask for more?"

       E         B7
Like a bird on a wire
       E                          
Like a drunk in some old midnight 
A       A7
choir
       E           B7        A   
I have tried in my way to be free
