Bird On A Wire

INTRO: C

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

                 G            C   
Like a worm on a hook, like a 
         C7            F
knight in an old fashioned book
       C            G           C
I have saved all my ribbons for 
     F  C
thee



And if I___ have been unkind
  F                       G
I hope you will let it go by
       C
And if I___, I have been untrue

        F                     G
Well, I hope you know, it was not to
 you


       C         G            C  
Like a babe stillborn, like a 
            F
beast with his horn
       C         G                
I have torn everyone who reached 
      C   F  C
out to me
                     G           C
But I swear, by this song and by 
                    F
all that I have done wrong
            C        G            
That I will make it, make it all 
     C     F  C
up to thee

I saw a man leaning on his crutch
        F                      G
And he said to me, "Why do you ask 
for so much?"
            C
But I saw a woman, she was leaning 
in a door
        F                         
And she cried out to me, "Why not 
G   G7  G
ask for more"


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

                     G           C
But I swear, by this song and by 
                    F
all that I have done wrong
            C        G            
That I will make it, make it all
