G tacet

I thought I'd go G up Poughkeepsie look out C o'er the Hudson and I'd
G throw my body down on the D river. And I'd G know no more sorrow
I'd fly C like the sparrow and I'd ride G on the backs of the D
angels G tonight.

Chorus
I'd ride D on the backs of the C angels toGnight
I'd take D to the sky with all C of my G might
G No more drowning in my sorrows, no more drowning in my C fright
I'd just ride G on the backs of the D angels toGnight

C

There are G those who know sorrow and C those who must borrow
and those G whose lot in life is D sweet. Well I'm G drunk on
self-pity, scorned C all that's been given me, I would G drink
from a bottle labeled D Sure DeGfeat.

repeat chorus

C

Then the G skies they fell open and C my eyes were opened to a
G world of hope falling at my D feet. Now I've G no more or less
than C anyone else has, what I G have is a gift of life I D
can't reGpeat.
So I G go up Poughkeepsie look out C o'er the Hudson and I
G cast my worries to the D sky. Now I G still know sorrow but I
can fly C like the sparrow cause I ride G on the backs of
the D angels G tonight.

repeat chorus except last line is
I'll just ride G on the backs of the D angels each C night
end on G tacet
