Well, I [G] drifted away _ on a steam [A] powered airplane. _
_ [C] Went and stayed and I [G] damn near didn't come back again.
I didn't go very _ fast on [A] a steam powered airplane.
Oh, the wheel [C] went around and up and down and [G] inside and then back again.
[A] Sitting in a 747 [G] just watching them clouds roll by.
_ [A] Can't tell if it's sunshine or a [G] fierce rain.
_ _ [A] Rather be sitting in a [G] deck chair high up over Kansas City.

[Bm] Well, [G] I'd like to be a pilot on a [A] steam powered airplane.
_ Well, I'd blow that [C] pilot wheel [G] around and then back again.
And I'd wear a blue hat, yeah, that says [E] steam powered airplane.
_ _ _ [C] Letters go around [G] the room and then back again.
_ [A] Sitting in [Am] a 747 just [G] watching them clouds roll by.
