Bird On A Wire Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[F]Like a bird on a w[C]ire
[F]Like a drunk in a midnight q[Bb]uire
[F]I've tried in [C]my way to be f[F]ree
[F]Like a fish on a h[C]ook
[F]Like a knight in some old fashioned [Bb]Book
[F]I have saved all [C]my ribbons for t[F]hy

[Bb]And I, I have been unki[F]nd
[G]I'd just hope you will let it go[C] by
[Bb]And I, I have been untr[F]ue
[G]I'd hope you know it was never to y[C]ou

[F]Like a baby still bo[C]rn
[F]Like a beast with his ho[Bb]rns
[F]I've torn every one w[C]ho reached out to [F]me
[F]But I swear by this s[C]ong and b[F]y
all I've done wro[Bb]ng
[F]I'll make it a[C]ll up to t[F]hy

[Bb]I've saw a youngman leaning on his wooden [F]crutch
[G]He called out to me don`t ask for so [C]much
[Bb]And a young woman leaning in a darkened do[F]or
[G]She called out to me why don`t ask for some [C]more

[F]Like a bird on a wi[C]re
[F]Like a drunk in a midnight qui[Bb]re
[F]I've tried in my [C]way to be fr[F]ee
