G                          C 
Now if I had wings like an angel  
    D7                          G 
Over these prison walls I would fly  
                              C 
And I'd fly to the arms of my darling  
    D7                      G 
And there I'd be willing to die  
  
                            C 
Now I wish I had someone to love me  
    D7                   G 
Someone to call me their own  
                           C 
Oh I wish I had someone to live with  
       D7                  G 
'Cause I'm tired of living alone  
  
G                                 C 
In my mind I have a grand ship on the ocean  
    D7                      G 
All mounted with silver and gold  
                                 C 
And before my poor darling would suffer  
     D7                         G 
That ship would be anchored and sold  
  
G                                C 
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow  
  D7                        G 
Leaving my poor darling all alone  
                               C 
With the cold prison bars all around me  
    D7                     G 
And my head on a pillow of stone  
  
G                          C 
Now if I had wings like an angel  
    D7                          G 
Over these prison walls I would fly  
                              C 
And I'd fly to the arms of my darling  
    D7                      G 
And there I'd be willing to die
