A E A D
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
A E A (p/o D)
I have tried in my own way to be free
A E
Like a worm on a hook
like a knight from some old fashioned book
A E A (p/o D)
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
D A
and if I have been unkind
B AI hope you will let it slip by
and if I have been untrue
B EI hope you know it was not to you
A E
like a baby still born
A Dlike a beast with his horn
A E A (p/o D)
I have turned from all those who turned to me
But I swear by this song
A Dand by all that I have done wrong
A E A (p/o D)
I have saved all these moments for thee
D A
I saw a beggar on his broken crutch
he said to me, you shouldn’t ask for so much
D AI saw a pretty lady in her darkened door
B Eshe said to me, why not ask for more?
A E
Like a bird on the wire
A Dlike a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my own way to be free.
