Blue Wing (Alvin Dave)

		
D  
He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder  
D Em  
might have been a bluebird, I don't know  
but he got stone drunk and he talked about Alaska  
A D  
salmon boats and 45 below  
well he got that blue wing at Walla Walla  
and his cellmate was a Little Willy John  
Willie, he was once a great blues singer  
so Wing & Willie wrote him up a song  
REFRAIN/CHORUS  
(no chord) D G  
sang, it's dark in here, can't see the light  
 D A  
but I look at this blue wing when I close my eyes  
 D G  
and I fly away, beyond these walls  
 D A  
up above the clouds, where the rain don't fall  
 D G A D  
on a poor man's dreams  
well they broke blue wing in August in 1963  
and blue wing moved on, picking apples in the town of Wenatchee  
winter finally caught him in a rundown trailer park  
on the south side of Seattle where the days grow long and dark  
and he drank and he dreamt a vision  
of when the seven still ran free  
and his father's fathers crossed that wide old Bering sea  
the land belonged to everyone, there were old songs yet to sing  
now, it's broken down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing  
now, it's dark in here...  
(repeat REFRAIN/CHORUS)  
well he drank his way to heaven and that's where he died  
and no one knew his Christian name, and there was no one  
there who cried  
but I dreamt that there was a service,  
a preacher in an old pine box  
and halfway through the service, the wing began to talk  
he said, it's dark in here...  
(repeat REFRAIN/CHORUS)
