I'll Get My Wings (and fly away from here)
by Alvin Cain
[Verse]
DI close my eyes and sGtill see the family bDible
And hear the words my mama read to A7me
She told the sDtory of a mGan that dDid all he cGan
To sDhow us what it mA7eans to be fDree
DShe talked about a rugged crGoss up on the hiDllside
And how a man gave his life for you and A7me
She tDold me of his lGove, and his hDome thats up aGbove
And she tDold me that there’d A7be a place for Dme
[Chorus]
DNow I’m staring at these wGalls here in this pDrison
I count my days and the end is drawing nA7ear
I dDid the things I dGone, and whDen my time has cGome
I’ll get my wiDngs and fA7ly away from hDere
[Verse]
DI lived my life aGny way I wDanted
Didn’t learn a damn thing my mama sA7aid
I left hDome late one nGight, and with a gDun I took a lGife
I took his mDoney and lA7eft that man for dDead
DAnd now I think about that mGan upon the hDillside
And everything he did to set us fA7ree
My mama’s wDords ring in my hGead, as I reDcall the things she sGaid
I bow my hDead, and fA7all down on my kDnees
[Chorus]
DNow I’m staring at these wGalls here in this pDrison
I count my days and the end is drawing nA7ear
I dDid the things I dGone, and whDen my time has cGome
I’ll get my wiDngs and fA7ly away from hDere
[Repear Chorus]
DNow I’m staring at these wGalls here in this pDrison
I count my days and the end is drawing nA7ear
I dDid the things I dGone, and whDen my time has cGome
I’ll get my wiDngs and fA7ly away from hDere
End
DI’ll get my wings and fA7ly away from hDere

I'll Get My Wings (and fly away from here)

by Alvin Cain

[Verse]

D G D

I close my eyes and still see the family bible

And hear the words my mama read to me

D G D G

She told the story of a man that did all he can

D A7 D

To show us what it means to be free

D G D

She talked about a rugged cross up on the hillside

And how a man gave his life for you and me

D G D G

She told me of his love, and his home thats up above

D A7 D

And she told me that there’d be a place for me

[Chorus]

D G D

Now I’m staring at these walls here in this prison

I count my days and the end is drawing near

D G D G

I did the things I done, and when my time has come

D A7 D

I’ll get my wings and fly away from here

[Verse]

D G D

I lived my life any way I wanted

Didn’t learn a damn thing my mama said

D G D G

I left home late one night, and with a gun I took a life

D A7 D

I took his money and left that man for dead

D G D

And now I think about that man upon the hillside

And everything he did to set us free

D G D G

My mama’s words ring in my head, as I recall the things she said

D A7 D

I bow my head, and fall down on my knees

[Chorus]

D G D

Now I’m staring at these walls here in this prison

I count my days and the end is drawing near

D G D G

I did the things I done, and when my time has come

D A7 D

I’ll get my wings and fly away from here

[Repear Chorus]

D G D

Now I’m staring at these walls here in this prison

I count my days and the end is drawing near

D G D G

I did the things I done, and when my time has come

I’ll get my wings and fly away from here
