Bird On The Wire
Ton : AEnglish
Like a biArd on the wirEe, like a drunkA in a midnight choirD
I have triAed in my wayE to be free A4 A
Like a woArm on a hooEk, like a knighAt from some old-fashioned bookD
I have saAved all my ribEbons for thee A4 A
D If I, if I have been unkinAd
Bm I hope that you can just let it go byA
D If I, if I have been untrueA,
Bm I hope you know it was never to youE.
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 ?"
Like a biArd on the wirEe, like a drunkA in a midnight choirD
I have triAed in my wayE to be free D A
