Bird on the Wire Original Written and Performed by Leonard Cohen This Version Jimmy Barnes and Troy Cassar Daley From the Jimmy Barnes album: Double Happiness Tabbed by magga1976 Capo 5th FretG D G CLike a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choirG D GI have tried in my way to be freeG D G CLike a fish on a hook, like a knight from some old-fashioned bookG D GI have saved all my ribbons for theeC GIf I, if I have been unkindAm DI hope that you can let it go byC GIf I, if I have been untrue,Am DI hope you know it was never to you.G D G CLike a baby stillborn, like a beast with his hornG D GI have torn everyone who reached out for me.G D G CBut I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrongG D GI will make it all up to thee.C G I saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutchAm DHe called out to me, "DonÂ’t ask for so much."C G And a young woman leaning in her darkened door,Am DShe cried out to me, "Why not ask for more?"G D G CLike a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choirG D C GI have tried in my way to be free
