D A Like a bird on the wire, D G Like a drunk in a midnight choir D A D A I have tried in my way to be free. D A Like a worm on a hook, D G Like a knight from some old fashioned book D A D D7 I have saved all my ribbons for thee. G D D7 If I, if I have been unkind, Em D D7 Well I hope that you can just let it go by. G D And if I, if I have been untrue Em A A7 Well I hope you know it was never to you. 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?" Oh like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  A7  D  D7  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
