The Wing And The Wheel Chords by Nanci Griffith

_ _ _ Thank you.

[C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] Sometimes in life we look around at one another and _ [Dm] _ become very complacent.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
And this is a song that I wrote for two friends of mine.
It _ _ _ _ [D] reminded me in the most glorious way that _ [G] there's no need for any human being to ever [C] be complacent.
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[G] The winged and the real _ [Am] carry [C] things away
Whether [Dm] it's me that does the leaving
[D]
Or the [G] love that flies
_ _ [C] _
[G] The moon outside my window looks [C] so lonely tonight
There is [Dm] a chunk out of its middle _
[G] That's big enough for an old fool [C] to hide
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
[G] There where all the _ [Am] dreamers
I [C] used to know we used to [Dm] linger beneath the street lamps
[G] With our halos in the smoke
_ _ [C] _
[G] The winged and the real we [C] carry them away
Now they [Dm] all live out in the suburbs
Where their [G] dreams are in their children [C] at play
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] There's a pale [G] sky in the east
[C] All the stars are in the west
[Dm] Oh and here's to [D] all the dreamers
May [G] our open hearts find rest
[C] _
[G] Cause the winged and the real they're [C] gonna
Carry us along and we'll [Dm] have memories for company
[C] [G] It's long after the [C] songs
I've [G] sung _ [C] so _ _ _ long
[Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] Thank you! _ _ _
