#37 BIRD ON A WIRE
A E
Like a bird on the wire,
like a Adrunk in a midnight Dchoir
A E Asus4 A
I have tried in my way to be free
A E
Like a worm on a hook,
A D
like a knight from some old-fashioned book
A E Asus4 A
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
D A
If I, if I have been unkind
h A
I hope that you can just let it go by
D A
If I, if I have been untrue,
h E
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone
who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
A E
Like a bird on the wire,
A D
like a drunk in a midnight choir
