[Verse 1]
D                           G
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me
    A7                   D
Someone to call me their own
                            G
Oh, I wish I had someone to live with
           A7               D
'Cause I'm tired of livin' alone

[Verse 2]
    A      D                      G
Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight
       A7                  D
Please meet me tonight all alone
A     D                   G
For I have a sad story to tell you
       A7                      D
It's a story that's never been told

[Verse 3]
A       D                         G
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
         A A7
Leavin' my poor darlin' alone
A        D           D7       G
With the cold prison bars all around me
       A7                  D
And my head on a pillow of stone

[Verse 4]
A     D                 D7     G
Now I have a grand ship on the ocean
    A7                      D
All mounted with silver and gold
A   D              D7            G
And before my poor darlin' would suffer
          A   A7                    D
Oh, that ship would be anchored and sold

[Verse 5]
D                          G
Now if I had wings like an Angel
       A    A7                  D
Over these prison walls I would fly
A       D          D7              G
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling
A   A7                      D
And there I'd be willing to die
