[A#] [Bm] someone [B] to call me [E] their own.
[B] [E] I wish I had someone [A] to live with.
[B] I'm so tired of living [E] alone.
So feed me tonight [A] in the moonlight.
Feed [B] me I in the middle [E] of a haversack [Em]
story [A] to tell you.
[B] A story that's never been [E] told.

friendship [A] on New Jersey,
[B] all mounted with silver [E] and gold.
And before my poor darling, [A] [F#m]
I would [B] have that ship anchored [E] and sold.
I'll be carried to the new jail [A] tomorrow.
[G#m] Leaving [B] my poor darling [E] alone.
[B] With the [E] prison bars [A] all around me.
And [B] my head on a pillow [E] of stone.

And if I had the [Em]
wings [A] of an angel, [F#m]
[B] over the prison walls [E] I would fly.

[B] And [F#] there I'd [B] be willing [E] to die.
