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

INTRO: [G#] [D#] [G#] [C#] [G#] [D#] [G#] [D#]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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