[G]
In the summer sun, [C] [G] 1981, [C] the day was [G] long till I heard the [D] song whistle like the wind.
[G] And I was standing there, [C] dust was flying [G] through the air, [C] like days [G] before when we
[D] believed in things we [G] couldn't see.
Oh [C] my red wing, [G] take me softly to [D] my home now, [G] to my family.
Oh [C] my red wing, [G] hold me closely, take [D] me under the [G] brightest sun.

[C] [G] [D] [G]
When the day is done, and another night has come, [C] I'll rest my [G] weary bones and pray the
[D] bird I love hasn't flown [G] away.
And I will call again, [C] up to my [G] kindest [C] friend, the ground [G] below will be set free.
And [D] with my [G] love I'll be.
Oh [C] my red wing, [G] take me softly to [D] my home now, to [G] my family.
Oh my [C] red wing, [G] hold me closely, take [D] me under the [G] brightest sun.

[D] [G]
Well money she has none, [C] and she was [G] never won, [C] by metal [G] wings or death [D] machines or anything between.
[G] When my time has come, [C] and all [G] my days are done, [C] if heaven [G] waits we'll breach the gates on [D] her wings we'll [G] be one.
Oh [C] my red wing, [G] take me softly to [D] my home now, [G] to my family.
Oh [C] my red wing, [G] hold me closely, take [D] me under the brightest [G] sun.
Oh [C] my red wing, [G] take me softly to [D] my home now, to [G] my family.
Oh [C] my red wing, [G] hold me closely, take [D] me under [G] the setting sun.
