Now I've heard there was a secret chord, Oi
Halleluiah, bird on a wire
That David played and it pleased the Lord, Oi
Halleluiah. bird on a wire
It goes like this, the fourth the fifth, Oi
Halleluiah, bird on a wire
The minor fall the major lift, Oi
Halleluiah. bird on a wire
Bird on a wire , so long, Marianne.
Round Cape Horn and back again,
Let's Haul away with laughing Len.
We're Leonard Cohen shantymen.
Let's Haul away with laughing Len.
We're Leonard Cohen shantymen.
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river, Oi
Halleluiah, bird on a wire
If you play your cards right, you can spend the night beside her, Oi
Hallelujah. bird on a wire
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind, Oi
Halleluyah, bird on a wire
You can touch her perfect body with your mind, Oi
hallelujah, bird on a wire
Bird on a wire , so long, Marianne.
Oh, we are a jolly crew, Oi
Halleluiah, Bird on a wire
We'll be slashing our wrists in a minute or two, Oi
Halleluiah, bird on a wire
It's a barrel of laughs you'll collapse in a heap, Oi
Halleluiah. bird on a wire
Headed for the unfathomable deep, Oi
Halleluiah, bird on a wire
