^{Key: :[D#] (w: Leonard Cohen)}

INTRO: [D#] [A#] [D#] [G#] [D#] [A#] [D#] [A#]

VERSE 1:
Like a [D#] bird on a [A#] wire
Like a [D#] drunk in a midnight [G#] choir
I have [D#] tried in my [A#] ways to be [D#] free [A#]

VERSE 2:
Like a [D#] fish, on a [A#] hook
Like a [D#] knight in some old fashioned [G#] book
I have [D#] saved all my [A#] ribbons for [D#] thee [D#7]

CHORUS 1:
[G#] And if I, if I have been un-[D#]-kind
I just [Fm] hope you, will let it go [D#] by
[G#] And if I, if I have been un-[D#]-true
I just [Fm] hope you know, it was never to [A#] you

VERSE 3:
Like a [D#] baby, still [A#] born
Like a [D#] beast with his [G#] horn
I have [D#] torn every-[A#]-one who reached out to [D#] me [A#]

VERSE 4:
But I [D#] swear, by this [A#] song
And by [D#] all that I have done [G#] wrong
[D#] I'll make it [A#] all up to [D#] thee [D#7]

CHORUS 2:
[G#] I saw a young man, leaning on his wooden [D#] crutch
He called [Fm] out to me, don't ask for so [D#] much
[G#] And a young woman, leaning in her darkened [D#] door
She cried [Fm] out to me, hey why not ask for [A#] more

VERSE 5:
Like a [D#] bird on a [A#] wire
Like a [D#] drunk in a midnight [G#] choir
I have [D#] tried in my [A#] ways to be [G#] free [D#]
