    Paper Wings - Gillian Welch/David Rawlings

    Revival - song 7  - alt chords in ()

    Live GW - A E D B7    DR Capo 2 - G…

    Capo 6 D G A E

    Capo 1 Intro D(A) runG(D)

     

    Paper G(D)wings, all torn and D(A) bent

    But you made me feel

    Like they were heaven G(D)sent

    Paper G(D)wings, not real at D(A)all

    But they took me high enough to really G(D)fall

    Yourpaper C(G) kisses, faded too G(D) soon

    Just like A(E)a paper rose,

    D(A)Beneath a paper D7(A7) moon

    Paper G(D)wings, paper C(G)wings

    Oh D(A)how could I expect to fly

    With only paper G(D)wings

     

    Instrumental half verse

     

    Bridge 

    Angels were C(G)singing, didn't you G(D)hear

    If only I'd A(E)listened close,

    When they D(A)whispered in my D7(A7) ear

     

    Paper G(D)wings, paper C(G)wings

    Oh D(A)how could I expect to fly

    With only paper G(D)wings

    I D(A)tried to fly but found that I

    Had only paper G(D)wings
