Silver Wings
Merle Haggard
G
Silver wings shining in the sunlight
AmD7
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
G
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely
AmD7G
Silver wingsslowly fading out of sight
AmD7
Don't leave me I cry
GAmD7
Don't take that airplane ride
Am
But you locked me out of your mind
D7
Left me standing here behind
G
Silver wings shining in the sunlight
AmD7
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
G
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely
AmD7G
Silver wingsslowly fading out of sight

Just copy Silver Wings lyrics with chords and start enjoying pure classic country music.
