Bird On A Wire chords by Leonard Cohen

Like a bird on the wire,
        A         E
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
       A       A7        D
I have tried in my way to be free.
      A         E7       A

Like a worm on a hook,
         A         E
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
        A             A7             D
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
       A        E7            A      A7

    If I, if I have been unkind,
D                    A
    I hope that you can just let it go by.
Bm               Bm7          A      A7
    If I, if I have been untrue
D                     A
    I hope you know it was never to you.
Bm                   Bm7        E

Oh Like a baby, stillborn,
           A       E
Like a beast with his horn
        A     A7    D
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
       A         E7                  A

But I swear by this song
      A            E
And by all that I have done wrong
        A       A7        D
I will make it all up to thee.
      A       E7     A        A7

   I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
D                                        A
   He said to me, you must not ask for so much.
Bm               Bm7                   A       A7
   And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
D                                              A
   She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more?
Bm                 Bm7                 E

Oh like a bird on the wire,
           A         E
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
         A       A7       D
I have tried in my way to be free.
        A        E          D        A
