Joe Cocker - Bird on the wire

Like a ^Cbird on the ^Gwire, Like a ^Cdrunk in a midnight ^Fchoir I have ^Ctried in my ^Gway to be ^Cfree.^G

Like a ^Cworm on a ^Ghook, Like a ^Cknight from some old fashioned ^Fbook I have ^Csaved all my ^Gribbons for ^Cthee.^C7

If ^FI, if I have been un^Ckind,^C7 Well I ^Fhope that you can just let it go ^Cby.^C7 And if ^FI, if I have been un^Ctrue Well I ^Fhope you know it was never to ^Gyou.^G7

Like a ^Cbaby, still^Gborn, Like a ^Cbeast with his ^Fhorn I have ^Ctorn ever^Gyone who reached out for ^Cme.^G

But I ^Cswear by this ^Gsong And by ^Call that I have done ^Fwrong I^C will ma^Gke it all ^Cup to^C7 thee.

I saw a ^Fbeggar leaning on his wooden ^Ccrutch,^C7 Well he ^Fsaid to me, "You must not ask for so ^Cmuch."^C7 And a pretty ^Fwoman standing by her darkened ^Cdoor,^C7 She ^Fsaid to me, "why not ask for ^Gmore?"^G7

Oh like a ^Cbird on the ^Gwire, Like a ^Cdrunk in a midnight ^Fchoir I have ^Ctried in my ^Gway to be ^Cfree ^{F C G C}
