C F Well if I had, the wings of an angelC D Over these prison walls, I would flyC 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 meC G Someone to call me their ownC F And I wish I had someone to live withC G C Cause I'm so tired, of livin' alone. [Verse 2]C F Please meet me tonight, in the moonlightC G Please meet me tonight, all aloneC F For I have a sad story to tell youC 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 tomorrowC G And that means I'll be leavin' my poor darlin' aloneC F With those old cold prison bars all around meC 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 oceanD A Why it was all mounded with silver and goldD G There's nothin' for my poor darlin' to sufferD A D That old ship, will be anchored and sold. [Chorus]D G And if I had, the wings of an angelD A Over these prison walls, I would flyD 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 angelD A Over those prison walls, I would flyD G Yes I'd fly to the arms of my darlin'D A D And there, I'd be willing to die. [Outro]G D A DG D A D
