In [D] the midnight quiet, I [A] have tried in [E] my way [A] to be free.
Like a fish on a [E] hook, like a knight from an old-fashioned [D] book,
I [A] have saved all [E] my rivers [A] with thee.
[D] If I have been [A]
unkind, [B] I hope [Bm] that you [D] will just let it go [A] by.
Let it all go by.
[D] And if I have been [A]
untrue, [Bm] I hope you know [D] it was never [E] you.
No, no, [D] oh, [A] I have torn [E] everyone reached out [A] to me.
[Bm] [A] I [Bm]
hope you know [D] it was never [E]
you.
No, no, oh, [A] like a baby [E] stillborn, [A] like a beast [D] with his heart,
[A] I have torn [E] everyone reached out to me.
[D] But [A] I swear [Ab] by this song, [A] by all I [D] have done wrong,
[A]
I'll [E] make it all [A] up to you.
Yes, I will.
I saw [D]
a beggar leaning on his wooden [A] crutch.
[Bm] He called out to me, [D] don't ask [A] for so much.
[D]
And the young man, leaning on his [A]
darkened doors,
he [Bm]
cried out to me, hey, [D] why not [E] ask for more?
[A] Like a bird on [Ab] a wire, like [G] a drunk in the [D] midnight choir,
[A] I have tried [E] in my way [A] to be free.
