[Bm] [E] [G]
[D]
Riding in an airplane high above the ground,
Flying [Em] to a new place [G]
[A] underneath [D] the sun.
[Em] Looking [D] out my window at the beauty down below,
Shimmering [Em] in sunlight, [G] I [A] see the rivers [D] on the go.
Chocolate [Bm]-colored farms, with the food the [D] farmer grows,
Waiting [Em] for a rain cloud to [G] come [A] along and [D] plop his low.
Yippee [F]-yi-yo, [D] yippee-yi-yay,
Flying [F] in the [C] sunset at the closing [A] of the day.
And I'm riding [D] in an airplane high above the ground,
Flying [Em] to a new place [G]
[A] [D] underneath the sun.
[A] The lights [D] of the city start to twinkle up ahead,
And pretty soon we'll [Em] touch down
[G] just [A] before [D] it's time for bed.
[F] Yippee-yi-yo, [D] yippee-yi-yay,
Flying [F] in [C] the sunset at the closing [A] of the day.
And I'm riding in [D] an airplane high above the ground,
Flying [Em] to a new place [G]
[A] [D] underneath the [F#m] sun.
Hey, [B] hey, hey, I'm flying [E] to a new [G] place
[A] [D] Underneath the sun, oh, [Am] oh, [G] oh, oh,
[D] Underneath the sun, hey, [Am] hey, hey, hey,
[G] Underneath [D] the sun, yeah, [Am] yeah,
[G] Underneath [D] the sun, oh, [Am] oh, [G] [D] oh, oh,
[Am] [G] [D] [A]
