[ Предположительная тональность: E ] E B Like a Bird, on a Wire, E A Like a drunk, in a Midnight Choir. E B E I have trieed - in my way, - to be free, E B Like a fish on a hook, A Like a knight in some old fashioned book, E B I have saved all my ribbons, E For Thee, and A E If I, if I have been unkind, A B I just hope you will let it go by, and A E If I, if I have been untrue, A B I hope you know it was never to you. E B Like a baby still born, E A Like a beast with his horn, E B I have torn every one, B E Who reached out to me, E B But I swear, by this song, and E A By all, that I have done wrong, E B E I'll maake it all up to thee. A I saw a young man, leaning, A E On his wooden crutch, A He called out to me, A B "Don't ask for so much.", and A А young woman leaning, A E In her darkened door, A She cried out to me, A B "Why not ask for more?" (Repeat the first verse)
