Wing by Patti Smith
A simple, beautiful and very easy-to=play (all open chords!) song from Gone Again
(the song is kind of like a lullaby).
Verses use the same two chords throughout, the chorus adds two more (four chords total).

I was a wing
G
in heaven blue
A
soared over the ocean

soared over Spain
A
and I was free
G
needed nobody
A
it was beautiful
A
it was beautiful
A
I was a pawn
G
didn't have a move
A
didn't have nowhere
G
that I could go
A
but I was free
G
I needed nobody
A
it was beautiful
A
it was beautiful
