Johnny Cash - Bird on a wire

Like a Bir^Ed, on a Wire, ^B Like a dru^Enk, in a Midnight Choir. ^A I have tr^Eie-, ed - in my way, ^B - to be free, ^E Like a fi ^E- sh on a hook^B, Like a knig^Aht in some old fashioned book, I have sa^Eved - all my ribbons^B, For Th^Eee, and

If ^A I, - -if I have been un - kind^E, I just h^Aope you will let it go by, ^B and If ^AI, - - if I have been un - true^E, I ^Ahope you know it was never to you. ^B

Like a baby^E - - still - born,^B Like a beas^Et with his horn, ^A I have tor^En every one, ^B Who reac^Bhed out to me, ^E

But I sw^Ee - ar, by this song, ^B and By al^El, that I have done wrong, ^{A E}I'll ma - ake it a^Bll up - - to the^Ee.

I saw a youn^Ag man, leaning, ^AOn his wooden crutch, ^{E A}He called out to me, "Don't as^Ak for so much.^B", and A yo^Aung woman leaning, ^AIn her d^Earkened door, She cried out t^Ao me, "Why not a^Ask for more'" ^B
