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
