Black Wings Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Fly away on [G]them old wings,
black as they may [Gm]be
[C]Believin' what you leave behind
is burnt up junk [G]debris
And ever last undying soul resides
at a hotel in Saint [C]Marie
Fly away on them old wings,
black as they may [G]be

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 2]
Fly away on [G]them old wings,
black as they may be
[C]Shimmerin' like a Leslie
and a [G]Hammond B3
Or a shaking tambourine at a gospel jubilee
[C]Fly away on them old wings,
black [G]as they may be

[Interlude 2]
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
[Gm]Fly away on them[G] old wings,
[Gm]black as t[G]hey may be[Gm][C]
Jangling and a- changling all the way
to Tenness[G]ee[Gm]
Trusting in a [G]Duo Jet and a 9 volt battery
[C]Fly away on them old wings,
black [G]as they may be

[Interlude 3]
[G][Gm][G][C]
[G][C]
[G][C][G]
Fly [Gm]away on

[Verse 4]
[G]them old wings,
black as [Gm]they may [C]be
Strummin' on a Stella guitar
[G]and singin' 'Deportee'
That ain't [Gm]much of a reper[G]toire,
oh, no, Siree
[C]Fly away on them old wings,

[Interlude 4]
black as they may be
[G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]Fly away on them old wings,
black as they may be
You're [C]never gonna reach
the sun or the Sunset Marquis
[G]You'll die like a saint on high
alongside gamblers and thieves
[C]Fly away on them old wings,
black as they may [G]be
[G]Black as they may be
