Bird On A Wire

Cash Johnny

F                 C
Like a bird on a wire
F                           B
Like a drunk in a midnight quire
F             C             F
I've tried in my way to be free
F                 C
Like a fish on a hook
F                                   B
Like a knight in some old fashioned Book
F                C               F
I have saved all my ribbons for thy

B                      F
And I,  I have been unkind
G                               C
I'd just hope you will let it go by
B                     F
And I, I have been untrue
G                                  C
I'd hope you know it was never to you

F                   C
Like a baby still born
F                       B
Like a beast with his horns
F                    C                 F
I've torn every one who reached out to me
F                    C        F
But I swear by this song and by
                 B
all I've done wrong
F             C         F
I'll make it all up to thy

B                                        F
I've saw a youngman leaning on his wooden crutch
G                                    C
He called out to me don`t ask for so much
B                                        F
And a young woman leaning in a darkened door
G                                           C
She called out to me why don`t ask for some more

F                  C
Like a bird on a wire
F                             B
Like a drunk in a midnight quire
F                C           F
I've tried in my way to be free
