- Leonard Cohen cover on Guitalele.
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
Oh, like a baby, stillborn
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
I will make it all up to thee
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
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
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Outstanding performance... perfect vocals!
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks, John.
Thank you C.!
Ah, superb choice John. Covered with soul.
Cheers JITN. Much appreciated mate.
Most excellent cover John 👍👍
Thanks a lot Andy!
Fine strum / picking techniques there John. That song has been in my repertory since I was 16.
He opened it at the Liverpool Empire Theatre (a massive place, not suited to intimacy) but after a few seconds there was this electric atmosphere as I realised (and so did Leonard) that 90% of the audience were softly singing along with him. A memorable concert!
Cheers Berni. Never got to see him live. I think my daughter did.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
cheers fun!
Wonderful rendition!
Good on ya Paul.
This song is guaranteed to get me misty eyed. This is a wonderful version, mate.
Sorry to bring on your hay fever Bob!
One of my fave LC songs. Well done! 👍

Beautiful cover, I like what you've done with it. Hopefully there'll be more Leonard Cohen to come this week.
A good week for LC. Cheers.
Yes, Leonard Cohen had to be here didn’t he ? Sounds great on the guitalele with your super soulful vocals, thanks John.
Thanks for the broad theme me old china.
