Just a ship out on the ocean, [D]
a speck against the sky, _ [E] _
Amelia Earhart flying that sad [A] day.
_ _ _ With her partner _ Captain Newnan [D] on the second of July, [E] the plane fell in the ocean [A] far away.
_ _ _ There's a _ [D] beautiful, _ beautiful _ [A]
thing _ _ far away in a land [E] that is found. _
_ Happy _ [A] _ landings to you, Amelia _ [D] Earhart. _ _ _
[E] _ _ Farewell, first plane [A]
of the hour. _ _ _ _
Along [Am] about 8.30, her [D] SOS was heard.
[Em] Her signal's weak, but still her [A] voice was brave. _ _
_ In shark [Am] infested waters, [D] where a plane went down at night, [E] in the blue Pacific, she will walk [A] it _ clear.

Now you heard my story [D] about this opera of tragedy.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ Years _ _ _ will come, though others blaze their [D] trails across the sea, _ we'll [E] never forget Amelia [A] and her plane.
_ _ _ _ [D] There's a _ beautiful, _ _ beautiful _ [A] _

I want _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ you to believe in us.
_ [Dm] Thank [Bb] you very much.
_ _ [E] _ [D] Hello, this is our man.

I never do it, but on this particular occasion, _
[F] this old boy was sitting there in the full lotus.
I see some folks from Kerrville, Texas here this evening.

[N] _ _ _ Wonderful [B] Americans come down to the show here in Austin now, but [Fm] glad to have you folks [E] here to see.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ As a rule, I never do pick up a hitchhiker.
On this [Bb] occasion, this old boy was sitting there in the full lotus [D] position by the side of the road, and I had to pick [E] him up.
_ He told me a very [Dm] unusual _ and somewhat tedious story about his problems.
