Bird On The Wire chords by Rita Coolidge

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA         E MajorE
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
       A augmentedA       A7A7        D MajorD
I have tried in my way to be free
      A augmentedA         E7E7  A augmentedA
Like a worm on a hook
         A augmentedA         E MajorE
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
      A augmentedA             A7A7      D MajorD
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
    A augmentedA        E7E7       A augmentedA A7A7 D MajorD
If I, if I have been unkind,
                 A augmentedA           B minorBm
I hope that you can just let it go by
            Bm7Bm7      A augmentedA A7A7 D MajorD
If I, if I have been untrue
                  A augmentedA
I hope you know it was never to you
B minorBm                   Bm7Bm7 E MajorE
Oh Like a baby, stillborn
           A augmentedA       E MajorE
Like a beast with his horn
        A augmentedA     A7A7    D MajorD
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
       A augmentedA         E7E7  A augmentedA
But I swear by this song
      A augmentedA            E MajorE
And by all that I have done wrong
        A augmentedA       A7A7    D MajorD
I will make it all up to thee
   A augmentedA       E7E7     A augmentedA        A7A7       D MajorD
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
                                    A augmentedA B minorBm
He said to me, you must not ask for so much.
             Bm7Bm7                   A augmentedA    A7A7 D MajorD
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
                                   A augmentedA
She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more
B minorBm                 Bm7Bm7 E MajorE
Oh like a bird on the wire,
           A augmentedA         E MajorE
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
         A augmentedA       A7A7       D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
I have tried in my way to be free.
