The Irish Rovers – The Biplane Ever More (Guitar Live)

    C      F      C
Way out at London Airport

   F      G      C
In hangar number four

  C             Em
A lonely little biplane slept

      F             G
Whose name was Ever More

    C       F         C
His working days were over

F       G        C
No more would he sail

 F              C        Am
Upon his wings above the clouds

F          G     C
Flyin' the Royal Mail

C       G
Bye-bye biplane

F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane

F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye

Dm7   G C    Am C Am
Lulla-biplane

C       F      C
All the mighty jet planes

      F    G          C
Would look down their nose

       C                   Em
They'd laugh and say, "Oh, I'm so glad that

F              G
I'm not one of those"

    C   F          C
And Evermore would shake away

    F         G        C
The teardrops from his wings

    F                  C   Am
And dream of days when he again

      F     G   C
Could do heroic things

C       G
Bye-bye biplane

F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane

F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye

Dm7   G C    Am C Am
Lulla-biplane

C        F       C
Then one day the fog and rain

    F          G       C
Had closed the airport down

    C              Em
And all the mighty jet planes

     F               G
Were helpless on the ground

       C         F      C
When a call came to the airport

F     G     C
For a mercy flight

        F                 C         Am
'Twould be too late, they could not wait

    F        G     C
Someone must fly tonight

     Am                Em
They rolled the little biplane

       Am            Em
Out to runway number five

    F                   C
And though he looked so small and weak

   D7               G
He knew he could survive

    C            F      C
And as he rose into the storm

    F          G          C
The jet planes hung their wings

         F                   C    Am
And they hoped someday, like Ever More

   F     G   C
To do heroic things

C       G
Bye-bye biplane

F           C
Once-upon-a-sky plane

F       C    Am
Bye-bye hushabye

   C      F     C
Ah so, me billy bundle

       F      G        C
I have spun a tale for you

C                      Em
You must learn there's nothing

        F                    G
In this world that you can't do

    C      F     C
Ah, do not be discouraged

   F     G         C
By circumstance or size

  F           C        Am
Remember Ever More and set your

F         G      C
Sights up in the skies

C       G
Bye-bye biplane
