Chords for Bird on the Wire

[B] Like _ a bird _ _ _ [G#m] on the wire, _ _ _ [E] like a drunk in a midnight [D] choir,
_ _ I have tried _ in my way to be [A] free. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Like the worm _ _ _ [E] on a hook, _ _ _ like a [A] knight from a _ fashion [D] book, _ _
I [A] have saved _ all [E] my _ _ ribbons [A] for thee. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ If I, _ _ if I have been [A] _ unkind, _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ I hope that you _ can just let it [A] go by. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ If I, _ _ if I have been [A] untrue, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ I hope you know it was never [E] a theme. _ _ _
_ _ Oh, like [A] a baby _ _ _
[E] _ stillborn, _ _ like a beast _ with [F#m] his horn,
I have [E] _ torn _ everyone _ _ who reached out [A] for me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
But I swear _ by [E] this song _ and [A] by all that I have [D] done wrong, _ _ _
_ [A] _ I will make [E] it all _ up [A] to thee. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ I saw a beggar leaning on his [A] wooden _ _ _ crock. _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ He said to me, _ you must not ask for [A] so _ much. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ And a pretty woman leaning in her [A] darkened room, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
She cried to me, hey why not [E] ask for more. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] Like a bird on _ [E] _
the wire, _ _ like a drunk in a midnight [D] _
choir,
_ I [E] have tried _ in my way _ to [D] be free.
