Bird On The Wire chords
Fairport Convention (Leonard Cohen)

Capo IV

D A D G D A D

D A
Like a bird on a wire
D G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
D A
I have tried in my way
D
To be free

D A
Like a worm on a hook
D G
Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
D A
I have saved all my ribbons
D ( Dsus4 D )*
For thee

G D
If I have been unkind
Em D ( Dsus4 D )*
I hope you will just let it go by
G D
And if I have been untrue
Em A ( Asus4 A )*
I hope you know it was not unto you

D A
Like a baby stillborn
D G
Like a beast with it's horns
D A
I have torn every one
D ( Dsus4 D )*
And reached out for thee

D A
Let us swear by this song
D G
And by all I have done wrong
D A
That I will make it all
D ( Dsus4 D )*
Up to thee

G D ( Dsus4 D )*
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden cross
Em D ( Dsus4 D )*
He said to me do not ask for someone?
G D
And a woman standing in her darkened door
Em A ( Asus4 A )*
She cried to me hey, why not ask for more?

D A
Like a bird on a wire
D G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
D A
I have tried in my way
D
To be free
