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 * optional for effect Set8
