David Allan Coe – Prisoners Song (Guitar)

C                              F
Well if I had, the wings of an angel

           C                     D
Over these prison walls, I would fly

        C                     F
Yes I'd fly to the arms of my darlin'

    C             G          C 
And there, I'd be willing to die.

    C                       F
And I wish I had someone to love me

C                        G
Someone to call me their own

    C                       F
And I wish I had someone to live with

          C         G         C
Cause I'm so tired, of livin' alone.

C                              F
Please meet me tonight, in the moonlight

C                            G
Please meet me tonight, all alone

    C                     F
For I have a sad story to tell you

       C      G                 C
It's a story, that's never been told.

C                                                   F
And I guess I'm gonna be carried to the new jail tomorrow

    C                                          G
And that means I'll be leavin' my poor darlin' alone

C                                    F
With those old cold prison bars all around me

C                G         C         D
And my head on a pillow of stone.

D                                              G
You know I had a big ol' grand ship out on the ocean

       D                                   A
Why it was all mounded with silver and gold 

D                                            G
There's nothin' for my poor darlin' to suffer

D                      A            D
That old ship, will be anchored and sold.

D                             G
And if I had, the wings of an angel

     D                           A
Over these prison walls, I would fly

        D                     G
And I'd fly to the arms of my darlin' 

    D             A          D
And there, I'd be willing to die.

        D                      G
Well if I had, the wings of an angel

     D                           A
Over those prison walls, I would fly

        D                     G
Yes I'd fly to the arms of my darlin'

    D             A          D
And there, I'd be willing to die.
