A Year On An Airplane Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

GWe flew over the Am7cascades

 We were forced to Cadd9behave while we sat

 In rows like C7Mchildren G

GI crossed some standard Am7state lines

 And finally Cadd9found myself so far away from C7Mhome G

GAnd even though New England Am7intrigued us, thrilled us,

Cadd9Our bones were cold as sticks C7Mand stones G

GWe flew over the Am7cascades

 Just to Cadd9find ourselves in storms we've never C7Mknown

Chorus

A7sus4The winds blew like a beast with winDgs

 And yes, everything was blown so far awA7sus4ay

And I fell down

 I Dfailed to cut its neck

Verse 2

GEven after Am7hours of waiting

 There was no Cadd9telling when the storm would find its C7Mway G

GThe lands we tried to Am7memorize

 We're no Cadd9longer wrapped in tepid shades of C7Mred G

GAnd through the night the storm Am7held me down

 And Cadd9bit my neck and said it’d be okC7May G

GI stared into the Am7fury

 And the Cadd9beauty of its overwhelming C7Mstrength

Chorus

A7sus4The winds blew like a beast with winDgs

 And yes, everything was blown so far awA7sus4ay

And I fell down

 I Dfailed to cut its neck

Bridge

I saw a dim light

 In the mouth of the Cadd9beast

So I followed it in

 It's too late to retreat A7sus4

It swallowed me whole

 And my flesh became Cadd9meat

Oh I can't look back now

 Because the beast is compGlete
