C                              F
Well if I had, the wings of an angel
           C                     D
Over these prison walls, I would fly
        C                     F
Yes I'd fly to the arms of my darlin'
    C             G          C 
And there, I'd be willing to die.

[Verse 1]
    C                       F
And I wish I had someone to love me
C                        G
Someone to call me their own
    C                       F
And I wish I had someone to live with
          C         G         C
Cause I'm so tired, of livin' alone.

[Verse 2]
C                              F
Please meet me tonight, in the moonlight
C                            G
Please meet me tonight, all alone
    C                     F
For I have a sad story to tell you
       C      G                 C
It's a story, that's never been told.

[Verse 3]
C                                                   F
And I guess I'm gonna be carried to the new jail tomorrow
    C                                          G
And that means I'll be leavin' my poor darlin' alone
C                                    F
With those old cold prison bars all around me
C                G         C         D
And my head on a pillow of stone.

[Verse 4]
D                                              G
You know I had a big ol' grand ship out on the ocean
       D                                   A
Why it was all mounded with silver and gold 
D                                            G
There's nothin' for my poor darlin' to suffer
D                      A            D
That old ship, will be anchored and sold.

[Chorus]
D                             G
And if I had, the wings of an angel
     D                           A
Over these prison walls, I would fly
        D                     G
And I'd fly to the arms of my darlin' 
    D             A          D
And there, I'd be willing to die.

[Chorus]
        D                      G
Well if I had, the wings of an angel
     D                           A
Over those prison walls, I would fly
        D                     G
Yes I'd fly to the arms of my darlin'
    D             A          D
And there, I'd be willing to die.
