[N] [F]
[Bb] Oh, if I had the wings of [Eb] an angel, over [F] these prison walls I [Bb] would fly,
[F] and [Bb] I'd fly into the arms of [Eb] my darling, [F] and there I'd be willing [Bb] to die.
[F] Now I [Bb] wish I had someone [Eb] to love me, [F]
someone to call me their [Bb] own.
[F] [Bb]
Oh, I wish I had someone [Eb] to live with, cause [Fm] I'm tired [F] of living [Bb]
alone.
[F]
[Bb]
[Fm] In my [Bb] mind I'm a ship on [Eb] the ocean, [F] all mounted with silver and [Bb] gold,
and before my poor darling would [Eb] suffer, that [F] ship would be anchored [Bb] and so,
I'd be carried to the gallows [Eb] tomorrow,
[F] leaving [Fm] my poor darling [Bb] alone.
With the cold prison bars all [Eb] around me, and my [F] head beneath a pillar [Bb] of stone.
Oh, if I had the wings of [Eb] an angel, over [F] these prison walls I would [Bb] fly,
and [F] I'd [Bb] fly into the arms of [Eb] my darling, [F] and there I'd be willing to die.
