[F] We have another Leonard Cohen song for you.
[B] [G] [F]
Like
[Bb] [F]
[Bbm] [F]
[Bb] [F]
a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a [Bb] midnight [F] choir
I have tried [Bbm] in my way
[F] To be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knife from some old [Bb]-fashioned book
[F] I have saved [Bbm] all my ribbons for [F] thee
[Bb] If I help [F]
[Gm] you, can't you just let [F] it go by?
[Bb] If I'm
[F] untrue,
[Gm] I hope you know
It was [C] never to you
[F] Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast [Bb] with his horn
[F] I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have [Bb] done wrong
[F] I'll make it all up to thee
[Bb] I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden [F] cross
He [Gm] said to me, you must not ask [F] for so much
[Bb] And a pretty woman leaning in her [F] darkness
She [Gm] cried out to me, hey
Why not ask for [C] more?
