Bird On A Wire

A       Asus4  A       Asus4  A

[Verse]
       A         E            A  
Like a bird on a wire, like a 
                  D
drunk in a midnight choir
         A             E       
I have tried in my own way to be 
   A  Asus4  A
free

       A         E
Like a worm on a hook
        A                  
Like a knight from some old 
           D
fashioned book
       A            E            
I have saved all my ribbons for 
A  Asus4  A
thee

[Chorus]
    D                A
And if I have been unkind
B                             A
  I hope you will let it slip by

D                      A
  And if I have been untrue
B                                
  I hope you know it was not to 
E  Esus4  E
you

[Verse]
       A          E
Like a baby still born
       A              D
Like a beast with his horn
        A               E      
I have turned from all those who 
            A  Asus4  A
turned to me

      A             E
But I swear by this song
       A                    D
and by all that I have done wrong
        A              E          
I have saved all these moments for
  A  Asus4  A
 thee

[Chorus]
D                            
  I saw a beggar on his broken 
   A
crutch
B                                 
  He said to me, you shouldn't ask
         A
 for so much
D                          
  I saw a pretty lady in her 
            A
darkened door
B                               
  She said to me, why not ask for 
   E  Esus4  E
more?

[Verse]
       A         E
Like a bird on a wire
       A                   D
like a drunk in a midnight choir
       A            E         
I have tried in my way to be 
Asus4  A
