Willie Nelson - Bird on a wire

Like a ^Abird on the ^E7wire Like a ^Adrunk in a midnight ^Dchoir I have ^Atried in my ^E7way to be ^Afree. Like a ^Aworm on a ^E7hook Like a ^Aknight from some old fashioned ^Dbook I have ^Asaved all my ^E7ribbons for ^AThee.

^D If I, if I have been unk^Aind ^Bm I hope that you can just let it go ^Aby. ^D If I, if I have been unt^Arue ^Bm I hope you know it was never to y^Eou. ^E7

Like a ^Ababy, stillb^E7orn Like a ^Abeast with his ^Dhorns I have ^Atorn every^E7one who reached out for ^Ame. But I ^Aswear by this ^E7song And by ^Aall that I have done ^Dwrong I will ^Amake it ^E7all up to ^Athee.

^D I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden ^Acrutch ^Bm He said to me, "You must not ask for so ^Amuch". ^D And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened ^Adoor ^Bm She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for ^Emore?" ^E7

Oh like a ^Abird on the ^E7wire Like a ^Adrunk in a midnight ^Dchoir I have ^Atried in my ^E7way to be ^Afree.
