F C
Like a bird on a wire
F B
Like a drunk in a midnight quire
F C F
I've tried in my way to be free
F C
Like a fish on a hook
F B
Like a knight in some old fashioned Book
F C F
I have saved all my ribbons for thy
B F
And I, I have been unkind
G C
I'd just hope you will let it go by
B F
And I, I have been untrue
G C
I'd hope you know it was never to you
F C
Like a baby still born
F B
Like a beast with his horns
F C F
I've torn every one who reached out to me
F C F
But I swear by this song and by
B
all I've done wrong
F C F
I'll make it all up to thy
B F
I've saw a youngman leaning on his wooden crutch
G C
He called out to me don`t ask for so much
B F
And a young woman leaning in a darkened door
G C
She called out to me why don`t ask for some more
F C
Like a bird on a wire
F B
Like a drunk in a midnight quire
F C F
I've tried in my way to be free
