BIRD ON THE WIRE

-Leonard Cohen

3/4 123 1 (without intro)

Intro: first 2 lines

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir

Asus A

I have tried in my way to be free.

Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from some old fashioned book

A Asus A A7

I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

Bm7

A A7

If I, if I have been un-kind, I hope that you can just let it go by.

Bm7

E7 E7sus E7

If I, if I have been un-true, I hope you know it was never to you.

Oh, like a baby, still-born, like a beast

with his horn

Asus A

I have torn every-one who reached out for me.

But I swear by this song, and by all that I have done wrong

A Asus A A7

I will make it all up to thee.

I saw a beggar, leaning on his wooden crutch,

Bm7

He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."

And a pretty woman, leaning in her darkened door,

Bm7

E7 E7sus E7

She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.
