[Verse]
D              A       
Like a bird on the wire
D                 G             
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
       D        A            D    A
I have tried in my way to be free ■
D              A     
Like a worm on a hook
       D                    G             
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
       D         A          D        D7
I have saved all my ribbons for thee ■ 


[Chorus]
G                       D     
And if I if I have been unkind
Em                                   D     D7
Well I hope that you can just let it go by ■ 
G                       D     
And if I if I have been untrue


[Verse]
Em              Em7  Em    Em7       A      A7
Well I hope you know ■  it was never to you ■ 
D             A         A7
■ Like a baby stillborn ■ 
       D          G       
Like a beast with his horn
       D    A                    D          A
I have torn everyone who reached out for me ■
A7 D              A    A7  
■  But I swear by this song
D                       G              
■ I swear by all that I have done wrong
  D         A                D              D7
I will make ■ I will make it all up to thee ■ 


[Chorus]
G                               D            
■ I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
Em                             D         D7
Well he cried to me Go ask for some more ■ 
      G                            D            
And a pretty woman standing by her darkened door
Em                         A       A7   A A7
Hey she said to me Why not ask for more ■ ■ 
D           A          
Like a bird on the wire
D                 G             
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
D            Em A7     D          A7 D
I have tried in my way to be free ■  ■
