Written by Johnny Cash
G D7
Wings in the morning and license to fly
G
Straight to the portals of nevermore die
C
Nevermore pain in them old aching bones
D7 G
Wings in the morning to carry us home
D7
My grandfather lived by the book all his life
G
On rich bottomed land with twelve kids and a wife
C
He never saw TV nor rode a jet plane
D7 G
But he knew that heaven was holding his claim
G D7
Wings in the morning and license to fly
G
Straight to the portals of nevermore die
C
Nevermore pain in them old aching bones
D7 G
Wings in the morning to carry us home
D7
The salt of the earth yet with faith in the Lord
G
They all got together in that one accord
C
And what could be greater than God's guarantee
D7 G
That we can have heaven for eternity
G D7
Wings in the morning and license to fly
G
Straight to the portals of nevermore die
C
Nevermore pain in them old aching bones
D7 G
Wings in the morning to carry us home
D7
Rocks in the road and we stumble and fall
G
Light's getting low so we don't see at all
C
But I promise you on that gettin' up day
D7 G
Wings in the morning and we'll fly away
G D7
Wings in the morning and license to fly
G
Straight to the portals of nevermore die
C
Nevermore pain in them old aching bones
D7 G
Wings in the morning to carry us home
G D7
Wings in the morning and license to fly
G
Straight to the portals of nevermore die
C
Nevermore pain in them old aching bones
D7 G
Wings in the morning to carry us home
