Chords for Cheryl Wheeler - My Inflatable Plane

We have two Chinooks, which is the state dog of New Hampshire.
We have a 14-year-old named Tanner, and he's really old.
I was telling Chelsea upstairs how when you_
He scratches at the door to come [Fm] in, and when you open the door,
that's not enough, you have to touch him.
He doesn't know you're [N] there yet.
_ And I know when you talk to him, he's like,
Oh, hey!
_ _ _ [Bm] _ Can I come in?
I'd like to come in.
[F] And as soon as he's in, he's like,
Can I go help?
_ Let go.
And so _ [G] it's cute, but it's a little annoying.
_ _ _ _ Or else he just decides when he [F] realizes
he's not sure what he wants,
he just stands in the middle of the room and barks.
_ [Bm] But, you know, he's a sweetheart.
And so he's 14.
And then our [F] other Chinook is a _ _ _ _
two-year-old Chinook named Finn.
_ This dog is [F#] unbelievably handsome.
He is a total dreamboat.
He's so good looking that we actually call him Brad Clooney.
_ _ _ Oh my God, he is just, ah.
And then our middle dog is a 12-year-old Jack Russell,
who is the god of my idolatry.
And [Bm] she's a little short-legged Jack Russell.
[B] She's just, oh my God, I [F] just love her.
Her name's Kitty. _
_ I got a [G] lot of grief for naming a dog Kitty,
but it is a name as well as a noun.
I mean, I had an ant kitty.
We were never confused.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ Hey, Kitty.
Meow.
[B] _ She just [G] talks funny. _ _
_ But she had four legs too, now that I remember. _
Anyway, so _ those are our three dogs.
But then we had four visiting poodles,
all belonging to members of an extended family
with whom we are quite close.
And so there was Cielo.
He's a standard poodle, big dog.
[Bm] And Cielo, you know, standard [Fm] poodles
are said to be [F] quite smart.
And I can tell you that that assessment
was not made on the basis of Cielo.
_ [N] _ Cielo is really sweet,
but he is not the smartest dog I ever met.
And that would be true if I had only met three dogs.
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ But then the [F] next oldest is Willow.
And Willow's a Moyan,
and that's a relatively new breed of poodle
that's, you [F#] know, mid-size.
[C#] And Willow is just a sweetheart.
And then the next one is Colby.
He's also a Moyan.
And Colby is months old, and he is just a big love.
And he and Finn are just crazy about each other.
And they just roll around and hum and [F] chew on each other.
_ They're so cute.
[G] And then the last [F] poodle
is a little [E] weenie poodle named Licorice,
who [N] totally reminds me of Paul Lind.
_ _ _ _ Licorice is [D#] Paul Lind, he is.
_ But it is a bit much when you have seven dogs in the house.
That is a bit much, [G] you know?
And I'm like, Jesus Christ, dogs, out of my house!
Out of my house!
Licorice and Kitty are like, yes, dogs, out of [B] my house!
_ [G#m] _ So we do, we put the big dogs [D] down,
then Licorice and Kitty are like,
I'll take the sofa, you take the chair.
[E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
And so, okay, so there's the seven dogs.
So the morning, I got up [F] this one morning
of the seven dog weekend,
and I had to get up at like nine o'clock,
that's early for folks there.
[G] Oh no, I had to get up at seven to be driving by nine
to be down to Ringwood, New Jersey
for a one o'clock step check.
So some point in that day,
I had occasion to remember a dream I'd had years ago.
You know how real dreams are, right?
And in [N] this dream, I was flying a big [F] airplane.
I'm gonna fly a big airplane.
In my, I do have flying dreams,
but I always just stand upright and go like that.
I still have them, I just go like that,
and you know, just rise up,
but always standing straight [B] when I fly.
But in this dream, I was flying this airplane.
_ And you know, dreams are so real,
I go like, [N] God, I'm flying an airplane.
Apparently this is how I fly an airplane.
_ _ [F] _ _
And it was freaking me out,
but I landed in a field, as I was supposed to,
and it was dark in the field, no lights,
but I landed, no problem, and got out.
And when I turned around to look at the plane,
I realized that it was an inflatable plane.
_ _ _ _ The dogs and the inflatable plane came together for [D] this. _ _ _ _ _
_ You getting enough of this? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [B] There's more to it than that.
[D] _ As soon as I remember.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ My inflatable plane goes [Fm] flying around,
[C] rising and dipping between hill and [C] town,
and it knows where to go, so [Fm] there's not much to do.
Me [C] and the dogs are the pilot and crew.
_ [G] Colby and Finn [C] are singing a song,
Tanner is snoozing and [G] snoring along. _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ Cielo and Willow [Fm] wait for the ball,
[C] Licorice and Kitty don't care at all. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ My inflatable plane is light as a feather,
but it flies through the skies in all kinds of weather,
and if I am just dreaming, please let me dream on,
till me and the dogs figure out where we've gone.
And [G] then we'll all fly back [C] home and slide down the stair,
open the valve and let out the air,
fold up the plane in a nice little square,
_ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] till one night when the moonlight is bright in the sky,
you'll think we're sleeping, but off we shall fly,
we will laugh and we'll sing,
toast [Fm] with champagne through the [C] night sky
inside my inflatable plane.
_ _ [G] Colby and [C] Finn are rolling around,
Chinooks and Jack Russells and poodles are bound,
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] we will dance and we'll sing,
toast with champagne through the night sky
inside my inflatable plane,
through the night sky inside my [G] inflatable [C] plane.
