(Intro) LA LA LA LA
LA MI LA RE
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
A E A (p/o D)
I have tried in my own way to be free
LA MI
Like a worm on a hook
LA RE
like a knight from some old fashioned book
A E A (p/o D)
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
RE LA
and if I have been unkind
SI LA
I hope you will let it slip by
RE LA
and if I have been untrue
SI MI
I hope you know it was not to you
LA MI
like a baby still born
LA RE
like a beast with his horn
A E A (p/o D)
I have turned from all those who turned to me
LA MI
But I swear by this song
LA RE
and by all that I have done wrong
A E A (p/o D)
I have saved all these moments for thee
RE LA
I saw a beggar on his broken crutch
SI LA
he said to me, you shouldn’t ask for so much
RE LA
I saw a pretty lady in her darkened door
SI MI
she said to me, why not ask for more?
LA MI
Like a bird on the wire
LA RE
like a drunk in a midnight choir
LA MI LA
I have tried in my own way to be free.
