Tom: D
D A D G D A D
D A
Like a bird on a wire
D G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
D A
I have tried in my way
D
To be free
D A
Like a worm on a hook
D G
Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
D A
I have saved all my ribbons
D (Dsus4 D)*
For thee
G D
If I have been unkind
Em D (Dsus4 D)*
I hope you will just let it go by
G D
And if I have been untrue
Em A (Asus4 A)*
I hope you know it was not unto you
D A
Like a baby stillborn
D G
Like a beast with it's horns
D A
I have torn every one
D (Dsus4 D)*
And reached out for thee
D A
Let us swear by this song
D G
And by all I have done wrong
D A
That I will make it all
D (Dsus4 D)*
Up to thee
G D (Dsus4 D)*
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden cross
Em D (Dsus4 D)*
He said to me do not ask for someone?
G D
And a woman standing in her darkened door
Em A (Asus4 A)*
She cried to me hey, why not ask for more?
D A
Like a bird on a wire
D G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
D A
I have tried in my way
D
To be free
