:Would someone please post the words and chords to "Bird on a Wire"? I believe :it is by Leonard Cohen. Thanks in advance. :
Bird on the Wire by Leonard Cohen (from the CD Songs from a Room)
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir Asus4 I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from some old-fashioned book Asus4 I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I, if I have been untrue,
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?"
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
