Bird On The Wire Ukulele chords by Leonard Cohen

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
       A           E            A                   D
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
       A           E         A    Asus4 A
I have tried in my way to be free
       A         E            A                              D
Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from some old-fashioned book
       A            E           A    Asus4 A
I have saved all my ribbons for thee

Chorus:
D                         A
   If I, if I have been unkind
Bm                                    A
   I hope that you can just let it go by
D                         A
   If I, if I have been untrue
Bm                                 E   Esus4 E
   I hope you know it was never to you

Verse 2:
       A         E            A              D
Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn
       A         E                       A  Asus4 A
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
      A             E           A                    D
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
A                 E         A    Asus4 A
   I will make it all up to thee

Chorus:
D                                      A
   I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
Bm                                      A
   He said to me: "You must not ask for so much"
D                                             A
   And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
Bm                                        E      Esus4 E
   She cried to me: "Hey, why not ask for more?"

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