Introduction:
A E
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
A A7 D
I have tried in my way to be free

Like a worm on a hook

Like a knight from some old fashioned book
A A7 D
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
A E7 A A7 D
If I, if I have been unkind,

I hope that you can just let it go by

If I, if I have been untrue
A
I hope you know it was never to you

Oh Like a baby, stillborn
A E
Like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me

But I swear by this song

And by all that I have done wrong
A A7 D
I will make it all up to thee
A E7 A A7 D
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
A Bm
He said to me, you must not ask for so much.

And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door

She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more

Oh like a bird on the wire,
A E
Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.
