Bird On A Wire - Johnny Cash / Leonard Cohen
Like a b(A)ird on the w(E)ire, like a dr(A)unk in a midnight ch(D)oir
I have tr(A)ied in my w(E)ay to be free (Asus4) (A)
Like a w(A)orm on a h(E)ook, like a kn(A)ight from some old-fashioned b(D)ook
I have s(A)aved all my r(E)ibbons for thee (Asus4) (A)
(D) If I, if I have been unk(A)ind
(Bm) I hope that you can just let it go b(A)y
(D) If I, if I have been untr(A)ue,
(Bm) I hope you know it was never to y(E)ou.
Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Like a b(A)ird on the w(E)ire, like a dr(A)unk in a midnight ch(D)oir
I have tr(A)ied in my w(E)ay to be free(D) (A)
