[F]
[D] [C] I [F]
[F] [G] was driving across the burning desert [Cm] When [Bb] I spotted [Gm] six jet planes
[Am] Leaving six [B] wet paper [Bm] trails [G] Across [C] the bleak terrain
[G] It was the hexagram of [C] the [E] heavens [Bm] The [G] strings of my [A] [Am] guitar
[F] Oh Amelia, it [Eb] was just a false [F] [D] alarm
[Em] [Am] [F]
[C] [D] The
[F]
[G] drone [Em] [G] of flying [Bb] angels Is [Eb] a song so [Bb] wild and blue
[A] It scrambles [Bm] time and season If [G] it [C] gets through to you
Then [G]
[C] your life [G] becomes [Em] a travelogue Of [A] picture-post [Em]

[B] [G]
To kindly stay away
So this is [Em] how I hide my [G] hair As the road leads [A] cursed and charmed
[G] I [F] tell Amelia, it was just a false alarm
[C] [D]
[F]
[A] A ghost of [G] aviation [C]
[Bb] She was [Eb] followed by [Bb] the sky
