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.
[Outro]
