Bird On The Wire chords
Fairport Convention (Leonard Cohen)
Capo IV
C F C F C F C
Like a Cbird on a Fwire
Like a Cdrunk in a midnight Fchoir
I have Ctried in my Fway
To be Cfree
Like a Cworm on a Fhook
Like a Cknight from some old-fashioned Fbook
I have Csaved all my Fribbons
C (Csus4 C)*
For thee
If FI have been unCkind
Dm C (Csus4 C)*
I hope you will just let it go by
And if FI have been unCtrue
Dm F (Gsus4 F)*
I hope you know it was not unto you
Like a Cbaby stillFborn
Like a Cbeast with it's Fhorns
I have Ctorn every Fone
C (Csus4 C)*
And reached out for thee
Let us Cswear by this Fsong
And by Call I have done Fwrong
That I Cwill make it Fall
C (Csus4 C)*
Up to thee
F C (Csus4 C)*
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden cross
Dm C (Csus4 C)*
He said to me do not ask for someone?
And a Fwoman standing in her Cdarkened door
Dm F (Gsus4 F)*
She cried to me hey, why not ask for more?
Like a Cbird on a Fwire
Like a Cdrunk in a midnight Fchoir
I have Ctried in my Fway
To be Cfree
