Chords

G
He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio I was traveling to London He was going off to Buffalo
C
Changing planes in Pittsburgh

                     G
We got grounded in a storm

                   D
Now, I would give anything

                       G
To be on that flyer's arm

 G
We played cards, mostly blackjack
As we sat out on the tarmac We sang songs we knew in Spanish As we both loved songs of language
 C
He'd heard me on the radio

                               G
I'd seen the flyers on San Antone

                      D
Now, I would give anything

                            G
To have that flyer for my own

                 C
God bless the flyer

                            G
Who would be flying home tonight

                D
I would give anything

                               G
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight

     A
He said he'd never married
'cause, his heart was in the clouds And I said I was too clumsy That I broke the wings of the loves I found
  D
He shouted out his name to me

                        A
As I ran to make my flight

                       E
Now, I would give anything

                             A
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight

   G
One year I watched a war in London
In the airport leaving London And I wondered if I'd know him If I saw his wings in motion
       C
Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh...

                             G
In the lightening of that flight?

                       D
I wish that you could tell me now

                           G
Will he be flyin' home tonight?

                C
God bless the flyer

                            G
Who would be flying home tonight

               D
I would give anything

                              G
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight

                 C
God bless the flyer

                             G
Who would be flying home tonight

                   D
I would give anything

                               G
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
