Verse
A
He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder
A Bm
Well, it might have been a bluebird, I don't know
Bm
but he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska
E A
and the salmon boats and 45 below
A
well he got that blue wing in jail at Walla Walla
A Bm
and his cellmate there was Little Willie John
Bm
Willie, he was once a great blues singer
E A
so Wing & Willie wrote 'em up a song
[Chorus]
N.C. A D
said, it's dark in here, can't see the sky
A E
but I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes
A D
and I fly away, beyond these walls
A E
up above the clouds, where the rain don't fall
A D E
on a poor man's dreams
[Verse 2]
A
well they paroled blue wing in August of 1963
A Bm
and he moved north picking apples to the town of Wenatchee
Bm
winter finally caught him in a rundown trailer park
E A
on the south side of Seattle where the days grow grey and dark
A
and he drank and he dreamt a vision of when the salmon still ran free
A Bm
and his father's fathers crossed that wide old Bering sea
Bm
and the land belonged to everyone, and there were old songs yet to sing
E A
now, it's narrowed broken down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing
[Chorus]
N.C. A D
said, it's dark in here, can't see the sky
A E
but I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes
A D
and I fly away, beyond these walls
A E
up above the clouds, where the rain don't fall
A D E
on a poor man's dreams
[Verse 3]
A
well he drank his way to LA and that's where he died
A Bm
and no one knew his Christian name, and there was no one there to cry
Bm
but I dreamt that there was a service, a preacher and an old pine box
E A
and halfway through the service, blue wing began to talk
[Chorus]
N.C. A D
he said, it's dark in here, can't see the sky
A E
but I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes
A D
and I fly away, beyond these walls
A E
up above the clouds, where the rain don't fall
A D E
on a poor man's dreams
