Bird On The Wire chords by Leonard Cohen (Official Version)
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
Like a (A major) bird on the wire (E major)
Like a (A major) drunk in a midnight (D major) choir
I have (A major) tried in my (E major) way to be (A major) free (Asus4) (A major)
Verse 2
Like a (A major) worm on a (E major) hook
Like a knight (A major) from some old fashioned (D major) book
I have (A major) saved all my (E major) ribbons for (A major) thee
(Asus4) (A major)
Bridge 1
(D major) If I, if I have been un (A major) kind
(B minor) I hope that you can just let it go (A major) by
(D major) If I, if I have been un (A major) true
(B minor) I hope you know it was never to (E major) you
(Esus4) (E major)
Verse 3
Oh, like a (A major) baby, still (E major) born
Like a beast (A major) with his (D major) horn
I have (A major) torn every (E major) one
who reached out for (A major) me (Asus4) (A major)
Verse 4
But I (A major) swear by this (E major) song
And by (A major) all that I have done (D major) wrong
(A major) I will make it (E major) all up to (A major) thee (Asus4) (A major)
Bridge 2
(D major) I saw a beggar
leaning on his wooden (A major) crutch
(B minor) He said to me,
you must not ask for (A major) so much
(D major) And a pretty woman
leaning in her darkened (A major) door
(B minor) She cried to me,
hey, why not ask (E major) for more? (Esus4) (E major)
Verse 5
Oh, like a (A major) bird on the wire (E major)
Like a (A major) drunk in a midnight (D major) choir
I have (A major) tried in my (E major) way to be (D major) free (A major)
