Like a bird on a wire, 6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 Like a drunk in a midnight choir 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4 I have tried in my way to be free. 5 -4 4 5 5 -4 Like a worm on a hook, 6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 Like a knight from some old fashioned book 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4 I have saved all my ribbons for thee. 7 7 7 7 7 -8 7 8 If i, if I have been unkind, 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 I hope that you can just let it go by. 7 7 7 7 7 -8 7 8 If i, if I have been untrue 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 I hope you know it was never to you. 5 -4 4 4 5 -4 Like a baby, stillborn, 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 Like a beast with his horn 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 4 I have torn everyone who reached out for me. 5 -4 4 5 5 -4 But I swear by this song 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 And by all that I have done wrong 4 -4 5 -5 -4 4 -3 4 I will make it all up to thee. 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -8 7 8 I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 He said to me, you must not ask for so much. 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -8 7 8 And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more? 5 5 -4 4 5 5 -4 Oh like a bird on a wire, 6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 Like a drunk in a midnight choir 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4 I have tried in my way to be free |
