[A]
Won't you take me with you, darling, [D] I [E] don't want to [A] stay.
This place just keeps on getting [D] sadder ever since [E] you [A] went away.
I smell you on this pillow [D] as I lie [E] here in [A] our old bed
With a bottle and a Bible, [D] I just pray I [E] might get [A] some rest.
But [D] when I get my wings, [A] I'm going to [E]
fly back home [A] to you.
[D] Go ahead, you can tell [A] St.
Peter, [F#] [Dm] open [E] up, [A] coming through.
And I put you in that blue dress [D] and a new [E] pair of high [A]-heeled shoes
And a photograph of two love-drunk kids [D] on the day [E] that they said I [A] do.
Fifty -seven years of [D] memories [E] fall like the [A] rain comes down
And I could not help myself but cry [D] as they laid [E] you in the [A] ground.
But [D] when I get my wings, [A] I'm going to fly [D]
[E] back [A] home to you.
[D] Go ahead, you can tell [A] St.
Peter, [F#] [D] open up, I'm coming [A] on through.
[D] [A] [E]
[G] [D] Every Sunday I kneel down [A] to pray that I won't be alone
[C#] But
[C#m] [D] every night I lay down and [A] hope [E] I'll wake up back in your
[A] arms.

I come back home, [A] home to [F#] my [D] love, soon as [E] I get my [A] wings.
[F#] Oh Lord, [D]
just as soon as I [E] get my [A] wings.
One more [F#] time, [D]
