Jailbirds Can't Fly Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, what [G]I'd give
to be with [D]my Marie
To hold her close and walk again
through [A]meadows [E]green[A]
To [D]see again the tender love light
[G]shining from her eyes
To [A]walk among the ones I love
that jailbirds can[D]'t find
Oh, what I'd give [G]to see
my [D]old dad and mom
It seems that I can hear them saying
Hurry home, my [A]son[E][A]
I can [D]feel the soft lips of my Marie
[G]As we kiss goodbye
And I [A]long to fly straight to her arms
But jailbirds can[D]'t fly
No, it can't [G]be
No, not for [D]me
These walls are too [A]high
And jailbirds can[D]'t fly
Tomorrow when [G]dawn comes
And they [D]set me in that chair
Soon I'll be with my Marie
But I'll no longer [A]care[Em][A]
Then they'll [D]place me on
That big silver plane
that [G]sails the homeward skies
But [A]from the walls of that pine [E]box
[A]Jailbirds can't [D]fly
No, it can't [G]be
No, not for [D]me
These walls are too [A]high
And jail words can[D]'t flow
[G]
