Like a [/] [A] bird [/] … on the [/] [E7] wire [/] [E7]
Like a [/] [A] drunk in a [/] [A7] midnight [/] [D] choir [/] [D]
I have [/] [A] tried [/] … in my [/] [E7] way [/] … to be [/] [A] free [/] [Asus4] [/] [A] [/] [A]


Like a [/] [A] worm [/] ... on a [/] [E7] hook [/] [E7]
Like a [/] [A] knight from some [/] [A7] old fashioned [/] [D] book [/] [D]
I have [/] [A] saved [/] … all my [/] [E7] ribbons [/] … for [/] [A] thee [/] [Asus4] [/] [A] [/] [A] [/]


[/] [D] If I [/] ... [/] if I have [/] been un- [/] [A] kind   [/] … [/] … [/] … [/]
[/] [Bm] I hope [/] that you [/] can just [/] let it go [/] [A] by   [/] … [/] … [/] … [/]
[/] [D] If I [/] ... [/] if I have [/] been un- [/] [A] true   [/] … [/] … [/] … [/]
[/] [Bm] I hope [/]  … you [/] know, it was [/] never to [/] [E7] you   [/] … [/] … [/] … 


Like a [A] baby still- [E7] born
Like a [A] beast [A7] with his [D] horn
I have [A] torn every- [E7] one who reached [A] out for me [Asus4] [A] [A]


But I [A] swear by this [E7] song
And by [A] all that [A7] I have done [D] wrong
[A] I will  make it [E7] all up to [A] thee [Asus4] [A] [A]


[D] I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden [A] crutch    [/] … [/] … [/] … [/]
[Bm] He said to me you must not ask for [A] so much [Asus4] [A] [A]
[D] And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened [A] door   [/] … [/] … [/] … [/]
[Bm] She cried to me, hey why not ask [E7] for more   [/] … [/] … [/] … 


Like a [A] bird on the [E7] wire
Like a [A] drunk in a [A7] midnight [D] choir
I have [A] tried in my [E7] way to be [D] free [A]
