Johnny Cash - Bird on a wire

^CLike a bird ^G7on a wire ^Clike a drunk in a midnight ^Fchoir I have ^Ctried in my ^G7ways to be ^Cfree

Like a fish on a ^G7hook like a ^Cknight in some old fashioned ^Fbook I have ^Csaved all my ^G7ribbons for ^Cthee

And if ^FI if I have been un^Ckind I just ^Dmhope you will let it go ^G7by

And if ^FI if I have been un^Ctrue I ^Dmhope you know it was never to ^G7you

Like a ^Cbaby still^G7born like a ^Cbeast with his ^Fhorn I have ^Ctorn every^G7one who reached out to ^Cme

But I swear by this ^G7song and by ^Call that I have done ^Fwrong ^CI'll make it ^G7all up to ^Cthee

I saw a ^Fyoung man leaning on his wooden ^Ccrutch He called ^Dmout to me don't ask for so ^G7much

And a ^Fyoung woman leaning in her darkened ^Cdoor She cried ^Dmout to me why not ask for ^G7more

Like a ^Cbird on a ^G7wire like a ^Cdrunk in a midnight ^Fchoir I have ^Ctried in my ^G7ways to be ^Ffree ^C
