Bird on the Wire [C]Leonard Cohen

Like a C bird on the G7 wire
Like a C drunk in a C7 midnight F choir
I have C tried in my G7 way to be C free Csus4 C

Like a C worm on a G7 hook
Like a C knight from some C7 old fashioned F book
I have C saved all my G7 ribbons for C thee Csus4 C

F If I if I have been unCkind
I Dm hope that you can just let it go C by
F If I if I have been unCtrue
I Dm hope you know it was never to G you Gsus4 G G7

Like a C baby stillG7born
Like a C beast C7 with his F horn
I have C torn everyG7one who reached C out for me Csus4 C

But I C swear by this G7 song
And by C all that C7 I have done F wrong
I will C make it G7 all up to C thee Csus4 C

F I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden C crutch
Dm He said to me you must not ask for so C much Csus4 C
F And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened C door
Dm She cried to me hey why not ask for G more Gsus4 G G7

Like a C bird on the G7 wire
Like a C drunk in a C7 midnight F choir
I have C tried in my G7 way to be F free C
