     G+G
A augmentedA couple guys in first class on a flight
             B minorBm
From new York to Los Angeles,

Kinda making small talk killing time,
                  C majorC
Flirting with the flight attendants,

30, 000 feet above, could be Oklahoma,
    G+G
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms,
           B minorBm
Man it all looks the same,

Miles and miles of back roads and highways,
                   C majorC
Connecting little towns with unknown names,
                        D MajorD
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere,


CHORUS:

       G+G         C majorC
They've never drove through Indiana,
        G+G
Met the men who plowed that earth,
          D MajorD
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me,

      G+G        C majorC
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas,
         D MajorD           C majorC
They'd understand why god made those fly over states

VERSE:

G+G                                B minorBm
 I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
                              C majorC
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul

Road and rails under their feet
D MajorD
 Yeah that sounds like a first class seat



CHORUS:
    G+G       C majorC
On the plains of Oklahoma
       G+G
Where the windshield sunset in your eyes
    D MajorD
Like a watercolor painted sky


      G+G         C majorC
You'd think heavens doors have opened
         D MajorD
You'll understand why god made
     C majorC
Those fly over states

[solo]


    G+G        C majorC
Take a ride across the badlands
G+G
Feel that freedom on your face
D MajorD
Breathe in all that open space

    G+G       C majorC
Meet a girl from Amarillo
         G+G
You'll understand why god made
         C majorC
Why you'd want to plant your stakes
       D MajorD
