	C
	He had a Blue Wing tattooed on his shoulder. Well it might have been a

	Dm
blue bird I don't	know.

	G
	But he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska. Salmon boats and forty-

five b	elow

	C
	He said he got that Blue Wing up in Walla Walla. Where his cellmate there

	Dm
was a little W	illy John

	Dm	G
	Willy he was once a great blues singer. And W	ing and Willy wrote him up a

s	ong:

CHORUS

	C	F	C
	He said its dark in herecan't see the	sky. But I	look at this Blue Wing

	G
and I cl	ose my eyes

	C	F	C
	Then I fly away, beyond these	walls Up above the	clouds, where the rain

	G
don't	fall

	Am	G	Am	G
On a poor man	's dreams (y	aa, On a poor m	an's dreams, y	aa)

	C
	Well they paroled Blue Wing in August, 1963

	Dm
	Winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park,

	Dm	G	C
	On the sou	th side of Seattle where the d	ays grow gray and dark

	C
	And he drank and he dreamt a vision of when the salmon still swam free

	C	Dm
	And his father's father's crossed that w	ide old Bering Sea.

	Dm
	And the land belonged to everyone, and there were old songs left to sing.

	Dm	G	C
	Now it's nar	rowed down to a cheap hotel and a tatt	ooed prison wing.

Chorus

	C
	Well he drank his way to L.A. and that's where he died. But no one knew his Christian name

	C	Dm
	And there was no one there to	cry. But I dreamt there was a service.

	Dm
A	preacher and an old pine box.

	Dm	G	C
	And hal	fway through the sermon you know Blue	Wing began to talk
