Titel: Bird On A Wire
Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: American I: American Recordings (1994)
(Leonard Cohen)
Orig.: F-Dur
C G
Like a bird on a wire
C F
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
C G C
I have tried in my way to be free
C G
Like a fish on a hook
C F
Like a knight in some old fashioned book
C G C
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
F C
And if I if I have been unkind
Dm C
I just hope you will let it go by
F C
And if I if I have been untrue
Dm G
I hope you know it was never to you
C G
Like a baby stillborn
C F
Like a beast with his horn
C G C
I have torn everyone who reached out to me
C G
But I swear by this song
C F
And by all that I have done wrong
C G C
I'll make it all up to thee
F
I saw a young man
C
leaning on his wooden crutch
Dm
He called out to me
C
“Don't ask for so much”
F
And a young woman
C
leaning in her darkened door
Dm
She cried out to me
G
"Why not ask for more"
C G
Like a bird on a wire
C F
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
C G F
I have tried in my way to be free
