Bird on the Wire piano leadsheet with chords

Like a bird on a wire,

like a drunk in from some midnight choir,

I have tried in my way to be free.

Like a worm on a hook,

like a knight in from some old ioned book,

I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

Like a 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.

More like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn,

I have torn ev'ryone 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?"

More like a bird on the wire,

like a drunk in a midnight choir,

I have tried in my way to be free.
