VERSE G
I am the elder Utah Smith
Bb
I've got two wings to fly
F
They may be made of paper
F/E Dm
They may never reach the sky
G
But I believe in mercy
Bb
I believe that man is good
A7 A7/C# Dm
And if they want two wings like me
G C F
There's a chance they could
VERSE G
I am the elder Utah Smith
Bb
I was born in Cedar Grove
F
That's in Louisiana
F/E Dm
On a dirt-poor stretch of road
G/B
I found the calling early Bb
Gave birth to righteous words
A7 Dm
And in a tent around the South
G C F
I took my sonic church
CHORUS Bb F
I was a light for the living
C Dm
And I spoke of peace and love
Bb F
With two wings and my old Gibson
C
I bought blessings from above
Dm Bb
I was here and I was gone
F C
Just a heartbeat from the past
Dm G/B
But I went from paper wings
Bb6 F
To the real thing at last
VERSE G
I am the elder Utah Smith
Bb
I take all as they are
F
I was the first man of the cloth
F/E F
To blacken a guitar
G/B
Love was my redeemer Bb
I felt it from the start
A7 A7/C# Dm
The Holy Ghost was channeled
G C F
Through the sound of my guitar
CHORUS Bb F
I was a light for the living
C Dm
And I spoke of peace and love
Bb F
With two wings and my old Gibson
C
I bought blessings from above
Dm Bb
I was here and I was gone
F C
Just a heartbeat from the past
Dm G/B
But I went from paper wings
Bb6 F
To the real thing at last

BRIDGEG
Been a long time in the ground
Bb6
Unmarked is my grave
F F/E
But I reside elsewhere these days
Dm
Thanks to souls I've saved
G/B
I traveled far, I traveled wideBb
Three quarts for the Lord
A7/C# A7 A7/C# Dm
Till one day he called me home
G C F
To claim his great reward
CHORUS Bb F
I was a light for the living
