Bird On The Wire

       C           G
Like a bird on the wire,
       C                   F
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
       C           G         C    G
I have tried in my way to be free.

       C         G
Like a worm on a hook,
       C                   
Like a knight from some old 
           F
fashioned book
       C            G         
I have saved all my ribbons for 
  C    C7
thee.

   F                   C    C7
If I, if I have been unkind,
       F                           
Well I hope that you can just let 
     C  C7
it go by.
       F                   C
And if I, if I have been untrue

       F                           
Well I hope you know it was never 
  G   G7
to you.

       C          G
Like a baby, stillborn,
       C              F
Like a beast with his horn
       C        G                 
I have torn everyone who reached 
       C  G
out for me.

      C             G
But I swear by this song
       C                    F
And by all that I have done wrong
 C       G         C    C7
I will make it all up to thee.

        F                          
I saw a beggar leaning on his 
  C      C7
wooden crutch,
        F                        
Well he said to me, "You must not 
            C     C7
ask for so much."
             F                     
And a pretty woman standing by her 
         C    C7
darkened door,
    F                           
She said to me, "why not ask for 
 G     G7
more?"

          C           G
Oh like a bird on the wire,
       C                   F
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
       C           G         C    
I have tried in my way to be free
