Start Jamming...
[Ab] [Bb] I lost my heart on the [F] 747, halfway to heaven, passing over [Bb] Des Moines.
Her looks were smart.
I met her [F] in the aisle.
She gave me her smile.
I [Bb] knew a future to join.
[D] There in the middle of a spicy [Gm] movie starring Napoli Wood.
[C] We made [Am] our [G] vows [Db] together, pushing our stakes [Eb] as best [Gm] as we could, my love.
[Bb] She removed [F] her earphones and told me in her dear tone, she had the power to [Bb] her nose.
She pushed and shoved through a dozen [F] stewardesses, handing out their addresses and mistaking [Bb] them for homes.
[D] Time flew.
I knew [Gm] something had gone [G] wrong.
[C] There was my love.
[F] She'd been gone [Bb] too long.
I searched, but I couldn't [F] find Diana.
When we landed [Cm] in Havana, not a trace could [Bb] I see.
I asked around.
It was good [F] enough and keener.
And everyone had seen her.
But she was [Bb] looking from deep, [D] knocking madly on the outer room [Gm] doors.
Tears were in my eyes, [C] accepting three or four masculine [F] roars.
I had no [Eb] answering [Gm] cries.
I searched, [Bb] and a muscle [F] of flowers, till Kennedy Tower gave permission [Bb] to land.
Farewell to the future we planned.
[F]
I [Bb] [Db] [D] think madly in the baggage [Gm] claim, just like Will was [G] too.
[C] I thought I heard her call my [Fm] name, but I lost my love [Eb] in my [Bb] baggage too.
[Gm] She's gone.
[Bb] Now we'll [F] never find united.
A promise unrequited.
No future [Bb] to join.
Our [Gm] love [Bb] is on a [F] 747, halfway to heaven, passing [Bb] over Des Moines.
