BIRD ON THE WIRE

JOE COCKER

Key:

Intro :

Like a bird on the wire,

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.

Like a worm on a hook,

Like a knight from some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

If I, if I have been un kind,

Well I hope that you can just let it go by.

And if I, if I have been un true

Well I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, still born,

Like a beast with his horn

I have torn ever yone who reached out for me.

But I swear by this song

And by all that I have done wrong

I will m ake it all up t o thee.

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,

Well he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."

And a pretty woman standing by her darkened door,

She said to me, "why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free
