VERSE 2:
Like a [E] fish, on a [B] hook
Like a [E] knight in some old fashioned [A] book
I have [E] saved all my [B] ribbons for [E] thee [E7]

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

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

VERSE 4:
But I [E] swear, by this [B] song
And by [E] all that I have done [A] wrong
[E] I'll make it [B] all up to [E] thee [E7]

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

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