Bird On A Wire Chords & Lyrics - Joe Cocker

[D]Like a bird on a [A]wire,
Like a [D]drunk in a midnight [G]choir,
I have [D]tried in my [A]way to be [G]free,- [D]

Like a worm on a [A]hook,
Like a [D]knight from an old fashioned [G]book,
I have [D]saved all my [A]ribbons for [G]thee,- [D]

And if I, if I've been un[A]kind,
I hope that you will let it go [D]by,
And if I, if I've been un[G]true,
I [A]hope you know it was never to [D]you,

Like a baby, still[A]born,
Like a [D]beast with his [G]horn,
I have [D]torn every[A]one who reached out to [G]me,- [D]

I saw a beggar leaning on his [A]crutch,
He said to me "Don?t ask for so [D]much",
And a woman leaning in her dark [G]door,
She [A]cried to me " Why not ask for [D]more",

So I swear by this [A]song,
I [D]swear by all I?ve done [G]wrong,
I will [D]make it, I will [A]make it, all up to [G]you.- [D]
