[Verse 1]
D G
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
A7 D
Someone to call me their own
G
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
A7 D
'Cause I'm tired of livin' alone
[Verse 2]
A D G
Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
A7 D
Please meet me tonight all alone
A D G
For I have a sad story to tell you
A7 D
It's a story that's never been told
[Instrumental Break]
A D G A A7 D A D G A7 D
[Verse 3]
A D G
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
A A7
Leavin' my poor darlin' alone
A D D7 G
With the cold prison bars all around me
A7 D
And my head on a pillow of stone
[Verse 4]
A D D7 G
Now I have a grand ship on the ocean
A7 D
All mounted with silver and gold
A D D7 G
And before my poor darlin' would suffer
A A7 D
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold
[Verse 5]
D G
Now if I had wings like an Angel
A A7 D
Over these prison walls I would fly
A D D7 G
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling
A A7 D
And there I'd be willing to die
