I have / trie-, / ed - in my / way, / - to be / free, / / /
/ E / / B /
Like a / fi - / sh 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 un - / kind, / / /

She cried / out to me, / / /
/ A / B / / /
"Why / not ask for / more?" / / /
