[Db] Crazy kid, cause I was one of those kids
Who always knew what I wanted
[Abm] They took [Gbm] me down to the airport
To see all the planes [Db] departing
Watching them fly, something [Eb] inside of me was starting
I was eight when I told them that I'd [Ab] be a pilot
But I was [Eb] too young and too short
And there were no female captains
[Db] And my dad said be patient
He said just see what happens
But I took my first lesson
Came down from the sky
[Ab] And told my father [Gb] I'd fly for the rest of my life
And [Db] I got my first job
[Eb] Flying for a mortician [Db] in a tiny bonanza
Just a corpse and me
[Eb] Five dollars an hour for flying dead bodies
I [Db] had to climb over their faces [Ab] just to get to my seat
Then [Db] suddenly the wheels [Fm] lift [Db] off
The ground is [Ab] falling [Db] backwards
I am [Fm] suddenly [Ab] a
[Bbm] [Ab]
[Gb] heavenly everything
[Bbm] I'm not [Ab] too young or too short
[Gb] And the passengers in [Ab] the back don't complain
[Bb] Suddenly [Ab] flying company [Gb] charters
Suddenly everything's fine
[Bb] Suddenly there's [Ab] nothing in between me [Db] and
[Gb] [Ab]
[Db] American Airlines had the prettiest planes
So I applied as a flight engineer
But the World War II pilots, they all [Ab] complained
They said girls [Db] shouldn't be in the cockpit
Hey lady, hey baby, hey
Why don't you grab us a drink?
And the flight attendants weren't my friends back then
And they said are you better than us, do [Ab] you think?
But I kept getting hired
[Fm] And the [Db] World War II crew, they retired
[Ab] And the [Db] girls all thought much higher [Ab] of me
[Gb] 1986, the first female American captain [Ab] in history
[Bbm] And suddenly, [Ab]
[Gb]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Gb] well [Ab] they can get their own drinks
[Bbm] There's no [Ab] one saying stay grounded
[Gb] Looking down, passing, and ah
[Bbm] Suddenly, [Ab]
[Db] [D]
[Ab] a female crew, the [Gb] news cut
It made headlines [Ab] across the world
[Bbm] Suddenly it sucked
[Ab] No one's saying you can't or you [Gb] won't or you know
You're not [Ab] anything cause you're a girl
[Gb] Suddenly I'm getting [Ab] married
And we're [Gbm] putting pins on the map where [Ab] we float
[Gb] Suddenly I [Ab] am a mother
And [Db] suddenly shocked at how
[Ab]
[Gb] Suddenly I'm [Ab] wondering how my parents would [Gb] feel
Seeing me teaching [Ab] men to be pilots
[Gb] Cause suddenly [Ab] I'm a senior instructor
[Bbm] And somehow I'm [Bb] 51
[Gb] Suddenly I'm flying [Ab] Paris to Dallas
[Gb] Across the Atlantic [Ab] and feeling calm
[Gb] When suddenly someone [Ab] on air-to-air traffic [Gb] says
At 846 there's [Ab] been a terrorist action
[Gb] And the one thing I loved [Ab] more than anything
Was used [Bbm] as the bomb
[Gb] [Db] Suddenly I'm [Ab] in a hotel
[Ab]
Suddenly something has died
[Gb]
Suddenly there's [Abm] something in between
[Db] Me and the
[Ab] sky
[N]
