Bird On A Wire Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][E][B]

[Verse 1]
By the rivers down [B]south
There's gonna be a hangin'
He took the life of another man's wife
The evidence was [D]damning
Let me simplify
Justice will be [B]served
Let no one stand in our way
Let no one be [G]concerned
In his eyes there was no regret
[E]But you could feel the snap of his neck
They [D]had [E]all[B] been friends
The couple and this man
And there was something wrong
With the story at [D]hand
But I was blind with rage
And I was blind with [B]hate
But now I had my doubts
But now it was too [G]late
In his eyes there was no more pain
[Em]I th[E]ink we'll have ourselves
a hangin' [D]again[E][B]
Like a bird on a [D]wire[E][B]
One day they'll come for me
But I have no fear
I only did what I thought was right
Cast a stone if you [D]dare
And so I stand alone
Before this great [B]debate
But beware my words
As you seal my [G]fate
In my eyes there was no regret
[E]But you could feel the snap
of my [D]neck[E][B]
Like a bird [D]on [E]a w[B]ire[D]
[E][B][D][E][B]
[E][B]
[F#]
In his eyes there was no more [E]pain
I don't think this brid'll fly
[D]again[E][B]
By the rivers down south
They had a bunch of hangings
They took the lives of everyone there
You know it was quite sav[D]age
But they were blind with rage
And they were blind with [B]hate
And so I stood [D]alone[B]
Like [D]a b[E]ird[B] on[D][E][B][D][E][B][D][E]
[B]a w[D]ire[E][B]

[Outro 1]
