Bird On A Wire Chords by The Neville Brothers

[A] Like a bird _ on the wire, like a drum in a midnight [D] choir, I [A] have tried in my way to be free. _ _ _ _
Like a fish on [E] a river, _ [A] like a knife [Em] in some old [D]-fashioned book, I [A] have sailed on [E] my river, _ [A] darling. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ Goodbye, _ _ [E] little [A] guy. _ _ _ _
I [Bm] hope that you _ [D] can just let [A] it go _ _ by. _ _
_ _ [D] I _ _ _ have been [A] unsure. _ _ _ _ _
I hope [Bm] you know _ [D] it was never up [E] to you. _ _ _
_ [A] Like a bird, _ _ [C#m] free, _ [D] like a bird, _ [E] free. _
_ _ _ _ Like [A] a baby, _ _ _ [E] stillborn, [A] like a beast [Em] within [D] his home, I [A] have taught _ everyone [E] who reached [A] out for me.
_ But [E] _ _ [A] I swear, _ [E] I've missed some, _ [A] and by all that I [D] have done wrong, _ [A] I'll make it _ [E] all up to [A] thee.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Don't cry, _ _ _ _ [A] don't cry.
_ _ _ It's [Bm] completed.
_ [D] Oh, it's finished.
_ [A] It's been paid for.
[E] _ _ _ Like [A] a bird, _ _ free _ [D] as a bird, _ _ [E] free.
Like [A] a bird, _ _ free _ [D] as a bird, free.
