Bird on a wire v1

A E
Like a bird on a wire
A D
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
A E A E
I have tried in my way to be free
A E
Like a worm on a hook
A D
Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
A E A
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D A
If I, if I have been unkind
E A / A7
I hope that you can just let it go by
D A
If I, if I have been untrue
E E7
I hope you know, it was never to you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A E
Like a baby still born
A D
Like a beast with his horn
A E A E
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
A E
But I swear by this song
A D
By all I have done wrong
A E A
I will make it all up to thee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D A
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
E A A7
He said to me : “You must not ask for so much”
D A
I saw a pretty woman leaning in het darkened door
E E7
She cried to me : “Hey, why not ask for more ?”
