Intro:
G    |C    |D    |Em  C  |

Verse 1:
G         C
Listen up to what I say
D                 Em                 C
Fill your own cup if you're tired of me
G             C
Can't you see that life's a bitch
D                       Em           C
Cause you don't want me, and I can't live?

Verse 2:
G           C
A heavy load, heavy mind
D                  Em                 C
Out on the road we never had too much time
G              C
You don't know how it feels
D              Em                  C
To go so slow, rollin' on a rubber wheel


Chorus:
                G                  C
But if I had an airplane, if I had wings
       D           Em              C
I'd go flying over every sorrowful thing
           G                      C
I'd fly to Tennessee just for the day
            D             Em             C
Lay me down easy, just to while my blues away
            G
If I had an airplane


Instrumental:
G      |C      |D     |Em  C  |

Chorus:
            G                  C
If I had an airplane, if I had wings
       D           Em              C
I'd go flying over every sorrowful thing
           G                      C
I'd fly to Tennessee just for the day
            D             Em             C
Lay me down easy, just to while my blues away
