INTRO
G - BbM7 - F F/E Dm - "mm-mm-mm mm..."
G - BbM7 - F F/E Dm - VERSE
G I am the elder Utah Smith
Bb I've got two wings to fly
F They may be made of paper
F/EDm They may never reach the sky
G But I believe in mercy
Bb I believe that man is good
A7A7/C#Dm And if they want two wings like me
GCF 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/EDm On a dirt-poor stretch of road
G/B I found the calling early
Bb Gave birth to righteous words
A7Dm And in a tent around the South
GCF I took my sonic church
 CHORUS
BbF I was a light for the living
CDm And I spoke of peace and love
BbF With two wings and my old Gibson
C I bought blessings from above
DmBb I was here and I was gone
FC Just a heartbeat from the past
DmG/B But I went from paper wings
Bb6F 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
A7A7/C#Dm The Holy Ghost was channeled
GCF Through the sound of my guitar
 CHORUS
BbF I was a light for the living
CDm And I spoke of peace and love
BbF With two wings and my old Gibson
C I bought blessings from above
DmBb I was here and I was gone
FC Just a heartbeat from the past
DmG/B But I went from paper wings
Bb6F To the real thing at last
 INTERLUDE
G - Bb - F F/E Dm - "mm-mm-mm mm"
G - Bb - F F/E Dm - BRIDGE
G Been a long time in the ground
Bb6 Unmarked is my grave
FF/E But I reside elsewhere these days
Dm Thanks to souls I've saved
G/B I traveled far, I traveled wide
Bb Three quarts for the Lord
A7/C#A7A7/C# Dm Till one day he called me home
GCF To claim his great reward
 CHORUS
BbF I was a light for the living
CDm And I spoke of peace and love
BbF With two wings and my old Gibson
C I bought blessings from above
DmBb I was here and I was gone
FC Just a heartbeat from the past
DmG/B But I went from paper wings
Bb6F To the real thing at last
BbF I was a light for the living
CDm And I spoke of peace and love
BbF With two wings and my old Gibson
C I bought blessings from above
DmBb I was here and I was gone
FC Just a heartbeat from the past
DmG/B But I went from paper wings
Bb6F To the real thing at last
