Flying Home - chords, tab and comments
At the bottom you'll find a link to the complete lyrics.
About 1980, I had *all* Chris de Burgh's albums. A total overkill. The whining of his voice followed me everywhere; slowly and most certainly I started growing insane. Some years later, a burg(h)lary happened to me, and the rascals got away with my huge LP collection, as well as all my comics. An irreplaceable loss, but at least I got rid of all the damned de Burgh vinyl ... you see, I've never been able to trash anything. I haven't listened to him ever since; I turn the radio way down low each time he appears. I hate Chris de Burgh. But I love flying, and that rat with the incredible annoying voice is a clever songwriter. Thus, I include this song. Solely.
G Gsus4 G Em C
we're sitting out here on the runway waiting for the plane to leave
G Bm7 Em C D7
and the captain said there'll be a short delay bear with me please
G Gsus4 G Em C
they gave us the usual hazzle you can't take those guitars on board
G Bm7 Em C D7
but the boys in the band just smiled heard it all before
C Am7
and as they're starting to serve champagne
G Gsus4 C
to the folks at the front of the plane
G Bm7 Em C D7sus4 D7
I can hear the engines roaring we're on our way
Em Bm7 C D7 Em Bm C D7
and we are flying home I feel the freedom in my soul
Em Bm7 C Am7 D7
flying home at last
Em Bm7 C D7 Em Bm7 C D7
flying home I've got the freedom in my soul
Em7 Bm7
and it's four in the morning my world is calling
D D7sus4 D7 G
speeding through the universe at last
