Blue Wing
Tono: Original
Blue Wing âTom Russell
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-
C
five below
C
He said he got that Blue Wing up in Walla Walla. Where his cellmate there
Dm
was a little Willy John
Dm G
Willy he was once a great blues singer. And Wing and Willy wrote him up a
C
song:
CHORUS
C F C
He said its dark in hereâ¦can't see the sky. But I look at this Blue Wing
G
and I close my eyes
C F C
Then I fly away, beyond these walls⦠Up above the clouds, where the rain
G
donât fall
Am G Am G
On a poor manâs dreams⦠(yaa, On a poor manâs dreams, yaa)
C
Well they paroled Blue Wing in August, 1963
C Dm
And he moved on pickinâ apples to the town of Wenatchee.
Dm
Winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park,
Dm G C
On the south side of Seattle where the days grow gray and dark
C
And he drank and he dreamt a vision of when the salmon still swam free
C Dm
And his fatherâs fatherâs crossed that wide old Bering Sea.
Dm
And the land belonged to everyone, and there were old songs left to sing.
Dm G C
Now itâs narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing.
Chorus
C
Well he drank his way to L.A. and thatâs 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 halfway through the sermon you know Blue Wing began to talk
