Bird On The Wire Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Like a [G]bird on the [D]wire
Like a [G]drunk in a midnight [C]choir
I have [G]tried in my [D]way to be [G]free

[Verse 2]
Like a [G]worm on a [D]hook
Like a [G]knight from some old fashioned [C]book
I have [G]saved all [D]my ribbons for [G]thee
[G]

[Bridge 1]
[C]If I, if I have been unkin[G]d
[Am]I hope that you can just let it go by[G]
[C]If I, if I have been untru[G]e
[Am]I hope you know it was never to you[D]

[Verse 3]
Oh, like a [G]baby, still[D]born
Like a [G]beast with his [C]horn
I have [G]torn every[D]one
who reached out for [G]me[G]

[Verse 4]
But I [G]swear by this [D]song
And by [G]all that I have done [C]wrong
[G]I will make it all[D] up to the[G]e[G]

[Bridge 2]
[C]I saw a beggar
leaning on his wooden [G]crutch
[Am]He said to me,
you must not ask for [G]so much
[C]And a pretty woman
leaning in her darkened [G]door
[Am]She cried to me,
hey, why not ask [D]for more?

[Verse 5]
Oh, like a [G]bird on the [D]wire
Like a [G]drunk in a midnight [C]choir
I have [G]tried in my [D]way to be [C]free[G]
