From the Jimmy Barnes album: Double Happiness
Tabbed by magga1976
Capo 5th Fret
Like a Fbird on a wiGre, like a druFnk in a midnight choFir
I have tFried in my Gway to be freeF
Like a Ffish on a Ghook, like a kFnight from some old-fashioned Fbook
I have Fsaved all my Gribbons for tFhee
FIf I, if I have been unkinFd
DmI hope that you can let it go byG
FIf I, if I have been untrueF,
DmI hope you know it was never to youG.
FLike a baby stillboGrn, like a bFeast with his Fhorn
I have tForn everyonGe who reached out for mFe.
FBut I swear by this sGong and by Fall that I have done wFrong
FI will make it all uGp to theFe.
FI saw a young man leaning on his wooden crFutch
DmHe called out to me, "Don’t ask fGor so much."
FAnd a young woman leaning in her darkened dFoor,
DmShe cried out to me, "Why not ask fGor more?"
Like a bFird on a wirGe, like a drunFk in a midnight choiFr
I have trFied in my wGay to be fFreFe
