Leonard Cohen - Bird on the wire

Like a ^Abird on the ^Ewire, like a ^Adrunk in a midnight ^Dchoir I have ^Atried in my ^Eway to be ^Afree ^{Asus4 A} Like a ^Aworm on a ^Ehook, like a ^Aknight from some old-fashioned ^Dbook I have ^Asaved all my ^Eribbons for ^Athee ^{Asus4 A}

^D If I, if I have been un^Akind ^Bm I hope that you can just let it go ^Aby ^D If I, if I have been un^Atrue ^Bm I hope you know it was never to ^Eyou ^{Esus4 E}

Like a ^Ababy still^Eborn, like a ^Abeast with his ^Dhorn I have ^Atorn every^Eone who reached out for ^Ame ^{Asus4 A} But I ^Aswear by this ^Esong and by ^Aall that I have done ^Dwrong ^A I will make it ^Eall up to ^Athee ^{Asus4 A}

^D I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden^A crutch ^Bm He said to me: "You must not ask for ^Aso much" ^D And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened ^Adoor ^Bm She cried to me: "Hey, why not ask for ^Emore?" ^{Esus4 E}

Like a ^Abird on the ^Ewire, like a ^Adrunk in a midnight ^Dchoir I have ^Atried in my ^Eway to be ^Dfr^Aee
