SILVER WINGS
(Merle Haggard)

       E         
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
       F#m                         B
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight,
                   E
They're taking you away, and leaving me lonely,
       F#m   B                   E
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.

      F#m       B
"Don't leave me," I cry.
      E         F#m       B
"Don't take that airplane ride."
       F#m
But you locked me out of your mind,
       B
Left me standing here behind.

       E         
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
       F#m                         B
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight,
                   E
They're taking you away, and leaving me lonely,
       F#m   B                   E
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.


I thought there was another verse, but this is all I could find at Cowpie.

Ah, you beat me to the punch, Mr H. LOL

Merle also has a nice duet with Jewel on this song, and that's also up at YouTube.

"Silver Wings" (written by Merle Haggard)

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
Left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight


Slowly fading out of sight
Slowly fading out of sight

The lyrics match the 1969 recording which can be found on YouTube.
