BIRD ON THE WIRE Leonard Cohen Like a [A] bird on the [E] wire, Like a [A] drunk in a midnight [D] choir
I have [A] tried in my [E] way to be [A] free [Asus4][A][E] Like a [A] worm on a [E] hook, Like a [A] knight from
some old-fashioned [D] book I have [A] saved all my [E] ribbons for [A] thee [Asus4][A][E] [D] If I, if I have
been un-[A]-kind I [Bm] hope that you can just let it go [A] by If [D] I, if I have been un-[A]-true, I [Bm] hope
you know it was never to [E] you. Like a [A] baby still-[E]-born, Like a [A] beast with his [D] horn I have
[A] torn every-[E]-one who reached out for [A] me. [Asus4][A][E] But I [A] swear by this [E] song And by [A] all that
I have done [D] wrong [A] I will make it [E] all up to [A] thee. [Asus4][A][E] [D] I saw a beggar leaning
on his wooden [A] crutch He [Bm] said to me, "You must not ask for so [A] much." [D] And a pretty
woman leaning in her darkened [A] door, She [Bm] cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for [E] more?"
Like a [A] bird on the [E] wire, Like a [A] drunk in a midnight [D] choir I have [A] tried in my [E] way to be
[D] free [A]
