Verse 1
(G major) Like (A minor) a (G major) bird on the wire (D major)
Like a (G major) drunk in a midnight (C major) choir
I have (G major) tried in my (D major) way to be (G major) free
Like a worm on a (D major) hook
Like a knight (G major) from some old fashioned (C major) book
I have (G major) saved all my (D major) ribbons for (G major) thee
Verse 2
(C major)
If I, if I have been unkind (G major)
(A minor) I hope that you can just let it go (G major) by (C major)
If I, if I have been un (G major) true
(A minor) I hope you know it was never to (D major) you

Verse 3
Oh, like a (G major) baby, still (D major) born
Like a beast (G major) with his (C major) horn
I have (G major) torn every (D major) one who
reached out for (G major) me (Gsus4) (G major)
But I swear by this song (D major)
And by (G major) all that I have done (C major) wrong
(G major) I will make it (D major) all up to (G major) thee
Verse 4
(C major) I saw a beggar leaning
on his wooden (G major) crutch
(A minor) He said to me,
"You must not ask for (G major) so much"
(C major) And a pretty woman leaning
in her darkened (G major) door
(A minor) She cried to me, "Hey,
(Adim) why not ask (D major) for more?"
Verse 5
Oh, like a bird (G major) on the (D major) wire
Like a drunk (G major) in a midnight (C major) choir
I have (G major) tried in my (D major) way to be free
(C major) (G major)
