Verse:

Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look
G                  A7            D7
And manned the gun himself as he laid aside the Book, shouting

And the deep blue sea

Yes the sky pilot said it
   G     B7       Em
Ya gotta give him credit
      A7       A7sus4   A7         D7
For a son of a gun of a gunner was he, shouting

Down came the bombers, a-diving from the sky
G                          G           D7    G
Down came the bombers, but faith could never die
G               G7         C
There stood the sky pilot, there among his men
G                    A7         D7
The light was in his eye, as he shouted once again
