GWings in the morning and D7license to fly
Straight to the portals of Gnevermore die
Nevermore pain in them Cold aching bones
D7Wings in the morning to carry us Ghome
My grandfather lived by the D7book all his life
On rich bottomed land with twelve Gkids and a wife
He never saw TV nor Crode a jet plane
But he D7knew that heaven was holding his Gclaim
GWings in the morning and D7license to fly
Straight to the portals of Gnevermore die
Nevermore pain in them Cold aching bones
D7Wings in the morning to carry us Ghome
The salt of the earth yet with D7faith in the Lord
They all got together in Gthat one accord
And what could be greater than CGod's guarantee
That we D7can have heaven for eterniGty
GWings in the morning and D7license to fly
Straight to the portals of Gnevermore die
Nevermore pain in them Cold aching bones
D7Wings in the morning to carry us Ghome
Rocks in the road and we D7stumble and fall
Light's getting low so we Gdon't see at all
But I promise you on that Cgettin' up day
D7Wings in the morning and we'll fly Gaway
GWings in the morning and D7license to fly
Straight to the portals of Gnevermore die
Nevermore pain in them Cold aching bones
D7Wings in the morning to carry us Ghome
GWings in the morning and D7license to fly
Straight to the portals of Gnevermore die
Nevermore pain in them Cold aching bones
