Verse 1:
A                                  D       E       A
Won't you take me with you darling I don't want to stay
A                                           D          E      
  A
And this place just keeps on getting sadder ever since you went away
A                                       D     E         A
And I smell you on this pillow as I lie here in our old bed
A                                              D    E   A
With a bottle and a bible, I just pray I might get some rest

Chorus:
D                         A   Asus4
When I get my wings I'm a gonna
E              A
Fly back home to you
D                             A   F#m
And go ahead and you can tell St. Peter
E                   A
Open up, I'm coming through

A                                      D           E         A
And I put you in that blue dress and a new pair of high heel shoes
A                                              D             
E    A
And a photograph of two love drunk kids on the day that they said i do
A                                  D    E     A
57 years of memories fall like the rain comes down
A                                           D        E      A
And I could not help myself but cry as they laid you in the ground

Chorus 2:
D                         A   Asus4
When I get my wings I'm a gonna
E                A  Asus4
Fly back home to you
D                         A   F#m
Go ahead and you can tell St. Peter
E                      A    Asus4
Open up, I'm coming on through

D  E  A

Bridge:
D                                A
And every Sunday I kneel down to pray that I won't be alone
C#m      B       D                  E
And every night I lay down and hope I wake up back in your arms (not too sure about the 
chords in this verse)

D                          A  Asus4
When I get my wings I'm a gonna
E                A
Fly back home to you
D                              A
And go ahead and you can tell St. Peter
E
Open up, I'm coming on through
D                                A
And I don't think, don't think I can wait any longer
E                   A            Asus4
O Lord I'm counting down the days
D                                  A       F#m
I'm gonna come back, come back and hold you my love
D       E        A
Soon as I get my wings o Lord
D        A        E
Just as soon as I get my wings one more time Lord
D       E        A
Soon as I get my wings
