Things were going wrong with the plane a little bit.
Nothing serious, but enough to notice it wasn't flying top notch, you know.
[Eb]
Everybody was playing poker.
[C] I remember [Bm] Ronnie did have a
[G] [C] little
[D] You could really feel a little
I was [Db] in the cockpit [Gb] in the navigator [F] jump seat in between the pilot and the co-pilot.
I looked at Walter McCreary and I said, we can [Db] fly on one engine, right?
[Bb] He looked at me with fear in his eyes and I saw it.
His eyes were bugging out.
He said, Artemis, you [C] better go back and strap yourself in.
[Eb] The pilot sent the co-pilot back to say, hey, we're going to make a landing and try to see what's happening here.
So it might be a little rough, so put your heads between your legs.
Like back in the Cold War when the schools said, there's a nuclear bomb coming, just get under your desk, you'll be fine.
[E] We started hitting the treetops real
you could hear them.
And it got louder and louder until it just got so overwhelming loud and bumpy.
That's when I, I guess, got knocked out.
[Bb] It felt like a thousand baseball [Ab] bats being beaten on [C] the fuselage.
So the plane started coming apart [Eb] and I'm looking out the window, the left wing comes off.
I [Fm] woke up on the ground, I thought a plane door was on me because I couldn't move and get up.
In reality, I was so broken, all my bones and legs and everything.
I just couldn't get up and I said, Dean, get this door off of me.
Dean, come here.
And I swear to God, to me, he came over and pushed the door off me.
Later on, one of the doctors said that he couldn't have done that, the way they brought him in.
He was too far gone, you know.
But I saw him do it.
My friends were bleeding to death.
I knew that the only thing that was going to help my friends was to get to a farmhouse and bring help back to that crash site.
But we stopped so fast, my boots had come off and I couldn't bend over because of my chest injuries.
So I'm walking through the briars and the brambles and it was getting darker and darker.
I remember waking up to the helicopters were hovering [D] in
[F]
like Vietnam.
[C] I had only seen it on TV, but the helicopters [Bb] and your buddies screaming and yelling.
[C]
I had some ribs broken, my pelvic and everything, man.
It had to be the next day because my mother had gotten there and she wouldn't tell me.
I said, please tell me.
And she started right off with Ronnie.
And that really freaked [G] me out because he was the tough guy.
I thought if he died, everybody [F] else did.
Those dead are Leonard Skinner's lead singer, Ronnie Van [A] Zandt, guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister Cassie, a backup [C] vocalist,
assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, [C] the plane's pilot [G] Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray.
[F] There was two benches in the front of the plane.
[B] Ronnie was here [Am] and I was between him [A] and Dean.
And Alan was [C] right across on that little bench in front of [G] me.
And he was between Cassie and Steve.
So all those [F] people died and Alan and me didn't.
And after it, we [Am] freaked out.
But how do we live and didn't [D] die?
[C] The other day, [G] I heard my friend [F] say, life was oh so [Em] bad, love was all in [C] vain.
No, all day long.
[G]
Sad [F] songs, the blues, the [Am] fear.
Things no doctor can [C] heal.
That's okay.
[G] I'll never change my [F] way.
Maybe I am wrong.
[A] But I'll soon be [C] gone.
They
[Em]
[E] [F]
[Dm] [Am]
[G]
[G]
[F]
[Am] sent them all around the room.
For days, [C] I remember the faces [Gm] of Ronnie and everybody who died.
[Am] I could see their [F] faces like a shadow in those plants.
[A] I could look up at them.
[Cm] I'd even say, [C] don't you see them up there?
Mama, don't.
[G] It was just me, I guess.
I think they were there [F] helping, you know.
And those flowers [E] for about a week, then they went away.
The spirit went [Gb] away.
[C]
