Bird On The Wire Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[G] [D] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
Like a bird, on the [D]wire, like a [G]drunk in a midnight [C]choir
I have [G]tried in my [D]ways to be [G]free
Like a fish, on a [D]hook, like a [G]knight in some old fashioned [C]book
I have [G]saved all my [D]ribbons for [G]thee

[VERSE 2]
And if [C]I, if I have been u[G]nkind
I just [Am]hope you, will let it go [G]by
And if [C]I, if I have been u[G]ntrue
I just [Am]hope you know, it was never to [D]you

[VERSE 3]
Like a [G]baby, still[D]born, like a [G]beast with his [C]horn
I have [G]torn every[D]one who reached out to [G]me
But I swear, by this [D]song, and by [G]all that I have done [C]wrong
[G]I'll make it [D]all up to [G]thee

[VERSE 4]
I saw a [C]young man, leaning on his wooden[G] crutch
He called [Am]out to me, "Don't ask for so [G]much"
And a [C]young woman, leaning in her darkened [G]door
She cried [Am]out to me, "Hey, why not ask for [D]more"

[OUTRO]
Like a [G]bird, on the [D]wire, like a [G]drunk in a midnight [C]choir
I have [G]tried in my [D]ways to be [C]free [G]
