D He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder D Em Well, it might have been a bluebird, I don't know Em but he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska A D and the salmon boats and 45 below D well he got that blue wing in jail at Walla Walla D Em and his cellmate there was Little Willie John Em Willie, he was once a great blues singer A D so Wing & Willie wrote 'em up a song [Chorus] N.C. D G said, it's dark in here, can't see the sky D A but I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes D G and I fly away, beyond these walls D A up above the clouds, where the rain don't fall D G A on a poor man's dreams [Verse 2] D well they paroled blue wing in August of 1963 D Em and he moved north picking apples to the town of Wenatchee Em winter finally caught him in a rundown trailer park A D on the south side of Seattle where the days grow grey and dark D and he drank and he dreamt a vision of when the salmon still ran free D Em and his father's fathers crossed that wide old Bering sea Em and the land belonged to everyone, and there were old songs yet to sing A D now, it's narrowed broken down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing [Chorus] N.C. D G said, it's dark in here, can't see the sky D A but I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes D G and I fly away, beyond these walls D A up above the clouds, where the rain don't fall D G A on a poor man's dreams [Verse 3] D well he drank his way to A and that's where he died D Em and no one knew his Christian name, and there was no one there to cry Em but I dreamt that there was a service, a preacher and an old pine box A D and halfway through the service, blue wing began to talk [Chorus] N.C. D G he said, it's dark in here, can't see the sky D A but I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes D G and I fly away, beyond these walls D A up above the clouds, where the rain don't fall D G A on a poor man's dreams
