Blue Wing
(C) He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder,
It may have been a Blue bird I don’t (G) know.
He’d get stoned drunk and talk about Alaska,
The salmon boats and 45 be-(C)-low.
(C) He said I got that blue wing up in Walla Walla,
And his cell mate there was little Willie (G) John.
And Willy he was once a great Blues singer,
And winging Willy wrote him up a (C) song. He said:
Chorus:
(C) It’s dark in here, can’t see the (F) sky,
But I (C) look at this blue wing and I close my (G) eyes,
And fly (C) away, beyond these (F) walls, up above the
(C) Clouds where there ain’t no (G) fault on a poor mans (C) dreams.
(C) They paroled blue wing in August of 1963,
And he moved north pickin apples in the town of Wanat-(G)-chee.
Then winter finally caught him in a rundown trailer park on the
South side of Seattle where the days grow gray and (C) dark.
(C) And he drank and dreamt of visions when the salmon still ran free,
And his father’s father crossed that wild old Berring (G) sea.
The land belonged to everyone and there where old songs yet to sing,
Now it’s narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison (C) wing.
Repeat Chorus:
(C) Well he drank his way to L.A. and that’s where he died and no
Knew his Christian name and there was no one there to (G) cry.
But I dreamt there was a funeral, a preacher and a cheap pine box,
And half way thru the service, Blue Wing began to (C) talk. He said:
Repeat Chorus:
