Standard (EADGBE)
Like bird on wire,
Like drunk in midnight choir,
I have D tried in my A way to be G free,- D
Like worm on hook,
Like a D knight from an old fashioned G book,
I have D saved all my A ribbons for G thee,- D
And if I, if I've been un A kind,
I hope that you will let it go D by,
And if I, if I've been un G true,
I A hope you know it was never to D you,
Like baby, still born,
Like beast with his horn,
I have D torn every A one who reached out to G me,- D
I saw a beggar leaning on his A crutch,
He said to me "Don?t ask for so D much",
And a woman leaning in her dark G door,
She A cried to me " Why not ask for D more",
So I swear by this A song,
I D swear by all I?ve done G wrong,
I will D make it, I will A make it, all up to G you.- D
