[C] Well if I had the [F] wings of an angel
Over [C] these prison walls I would [G] fly
[C] Yes I'd fly to the [F] arms of my darling
And [C]
there [G] I'd be willing [C] to die
And I wish I had [F] someone to love me
[C] Someone to call [G] me their own
[Dm] [C] And I wish I had [F] someone to live with
Cause [C] I'm so [G] tired of [C] living alone
Please meet me tonight in [F] the moonlight
[C] Please meet me tonight [G] all alone
[Dm] [C] For I have a sad story [F] to tell you
It's [C] a story [G] that's never [C] been told
I guess I'm gonna be carried to the new jail tomorrow
[F] And [C] that means I'll be leaving my poor [G] darling alone
[C] And with those old cold prison bars all [F] around me
Yeah [C] I'm gonna lay [G] there with my head on a pillow [C] of stone
[D]
You know I had a big old grand [G] ship out on the ocean
Boy [D] it was all mounted with silver and gold
[A] Cause
[D] you know before my poor darling would [G] suffer
That [D] old ship [A] would be [D] anchored and sold
And if I had the wings [G] of an angel
Over [D] these prison walls [A] I would fly
And [D] I'd fly to the arms [G] of my darling
