Thanks in advance. > >Terry Bruns [email protected] Bird on the Wire by Leonard Cohen (from the CD Songs from a Room)Like a bAird on the wEire, like a drAunk in a midnight chDoir I have trAied in my wEay to be free Asus4 A Like a wAorm on a hEook, like a knAight from some old-fashioned bDook I have sAaved all my rEibbons for thee Asus4 A D If I, if I have been unkAind Bm I hope that you can just let it go bAy D If I, if I have been untrAue, Bm I hope you know it was never to yEou.Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more'"Like a bAird on the wEire, like a drAunk in a midnight chDoir I have trAied in my wEay to be free D A
