This is the chord progression of I\’ll by Alvin Cain on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse]
D G D
I close my eyes and still see the family bible
A7
And hear the words my mama read to me
D G D G
She told the story of a man that did all he can
D A7 D
To show us what it means to be free
D G D
She talked about a rugged cross up on the hillside
A7
And how a man gave his life for you and me
D G D G
She told me of his love, and his home thats up above
D A7 D
And she told me that there’d be a place for me
[Chorus]
D G D
Now I’m staring at these walls here in this prison
A7
I count my days and the end is drawing near
D G D G
I did the things I done, and when my time has come
D A7 D
I’ll get my wings and fly away from here
[Verse]
D G D
I lived my life any way I wanted
A7
Didn’t learn a damn thing my mama said
D G D G
I left home late one night, and with a gun I took a life
D A7 D
I took his money and left that man for dead
D G D
And now I think about that man upon the hillside
A7
And everything he did to set us free
D G D G
My mama’s words ring in my head, as I recall the things she said
D A7 D
I bow my head, and fall down on my knees
[Chorus]
D G D
Now I’m staring at these walls here in this prison
A7
I count my days and the end is drawing near
D G D G
I did the things I done, and when my time has come
D A7 D
I’ll get my wings and fly away from here
[Repear Chorus]
D G D
Now I’m staring at these walls here in this prison
A7
I count my days and the end is drawing near
D G D G
I did the things I done, and when my time has come
D A7 D
I’ll get my wings and fly away from here
[End]
D A7 D
I’ll get my wings and fly away from here
