Bird On A Wire Chords by The Neville Brothers

Like a [A] bird _ on the wire, like a drum in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free. _ _ _ _
Like a fish _ on [E] a hook, [A] like a night from [Em] some [D] old-fashioned play, _ [A] I have stayed on my [E] river [A] for a day. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Goodbye, _ _ _ _ [A] love kind. _ _ _
I [Bm] hope that you _ [D] _ can just let it [A] go _ by. _ _ _
_ [D] _ I _ _ _ have [A] been unsure. _ _ _ _
I [Bm] hope you know _ [D] it was never up [E] to you. _ _ _ _
[A] Like a bird, _ _ _ [C#m] free [D] as a bird, _ [E] free. _
_ _ _ Oh, [A] baby, _
_ _ [E] stillborn, [C] like a beast _
[Em] [D] within its home, _ I have [A] touched _ [E] everyone who reached [A] out for me.
But [E] _ _ _ [A] I swear [E] by this song [A] and by all that I [D] have done wrong, [A] I will make it _ [E] all up [A] to 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] _ _ _ _ [A] Like a bird, _ free _ [D] as a bird, [E] free.
