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 un[C]kind

I [Dm] hope that you can just let it go [C] by

[F] If I if I have been un[C]true

I [Dm] hope you know it was never to [G] you [Gsus4] [G] [G7]

Like a [C] baby still[G7]born

Like a [C] beast [C7] with his [F] horn

I have [C] torn every[G7]one 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]
