Cash Johnny – Bird On A Wire

E B
Like a Bird, on a Wire,
E A
Like a drunk, in a Midnight Choir.
E B E
I have trieed - in my way, - to be free,
E B
Like a fish on a hook,
A
Like a knight in some old fashioned book,
E B
I have saved all my ribbons,
E
For Thee, and

A E
If I, if I have been unkind,
A B
I just hope you will let it go by, and
A E
If I, if I have been untrue,
A B
I hope you know it was never to you.

E B
Like a baby still born,
E A
Like a beast with his horn,
E B
I have torn every one,
B E
Who reached out to me,

E B 
But I swear, by this song, and
E A 
By all, that I have done wrong,
E B E
I'll maake it all up to thee.

A
I saw a young man, leaning,
A E
On his wooden crutch, 
A 
He called out to me,
A B
"Don't ask for so much.", and
A
А young woman leaning,
A E
In her darkened door, 
A
She cried out to me,
A B
"Why not ask for more?"
