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

INTRO: [C#] [G#] [C#] [F#] [C#] [G#] [C#] [G#]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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