[Intro] |C |C |C |C | |C |C |F |F | |F |F |C |C | |G |G |C |C | [Chorus]
     F                                        G
Hey, I'm a sky-bo and I see the world from an airplane

                                                     C
That's a hobo that can't get around fast enough on a train

            C                                             F
But from an airport or depot the motive for leaving's the same

F     C                G                    C
I'm a sky-bo, that's a new kind of hobo for planes
[Verse]
     C
Hey, I took a flight job in Phoenix

                       G
Flyin' some rich folks around

     G
They paid me to do what I love to

                               C
And I set 'em back safe on the ground

    C
But Phoenix got old and a hurry

                         F
So I sky-roped fancy goodbye

    F                      C
Sit down on the end of the runway

    G                      C
And caught me a jet on the flight
[Chorus]
     F                                        G
Hey, I'm a sky-bo and I see the world from an airplane

                                                     C
That's a hobo that can't get around fast enough on a train

            C                                             F
But from an airport or depot the motive for leaving's the same

F     C                G                    C
I'm a sky-bo, that's a new kind of hobo for planes
[Solo] |C |C |C |C | |C |C |F |F | |F |F |C |C | |G |G |C | [Verse]
           C
I ride the first thing smokin' tomorrow

                        G
Ain't nothing leaving tonight

    G
I'm stuck in this old cajun airport

                               C
Came in on the last Shreveport flight

          C
I'll dose off with the welcomed arrivals

                          F
Wake up in a crowd of goodbyes

         F                  C
But I'll hustle my ticket tomorrow

    G                    C
And lose my blues in the sky
[Chorus]
     F                                        G
Hey, I'm a sky-bo and I see the world from an airplane

                                                     C
That's a hobo that can't get around fast enough on a train

            C                                             F
But from an airport or depot the motive for leaving's the same

F     C                G                    C
I'm a sky-bo, that's a new kind of hobo for planes
