Chords with lyrics
B5B5
Can't see forty-two, just 'bout t'go insane
E5E5 B5B5
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big jet plane
E5E5 B5B5
I've been thinkin' about jumpin' out the door
'Cause my home land is so far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
And I've got to be on the run
(CHORUS)
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
B5B5 E5E5 B5B5
I've been sitting by the fireside
E5E5 B5B5
Wonderin' where my strength is goin'
Looking through the midnight,
E5E5 B5B5
Tryin' to find out which way the wind is blowin'
But my heart keeps pushing me backwards
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
As I jump aboard that 747
Riding high, but with a tear in my eye
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
You got to go through hell before you get to heaven
(CHORUS)
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Woah, big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
(SOLO)
Oh I know I will
I'm gonna leave on my own this time
Oh, yeah, yeah
(CHORUS)
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
B5B5 E5E5 B5B5
Goodbye to all my friends at home
E5E5 B5B5
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
E5E5 B5B5
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
A5A5 E5E5
You know you got to go through hell
B5B5
Before you get to heaven
(CHORUS)
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
B5B5 E5E5 B5B5
Touchin' down in New England
E5E5 B5B5
Feel the heat comin' down
First thought is "Lord, I said I'd be there"
E5E5 B5B5
But I couldn't seem to quite get it down
'Cause I'm goin' with some hesitation
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
I've got to go and make my way
But there's so many people, Lord, to talk to
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
And a whole lotta debts to pay
(CHORUS)
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh, Big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
B5B5 E5E5 B5B5
Goodbye to old friends at home
E5E5 B5B5
Goodbye to willing friends I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
E5E5 B5B5
I might get rich and I might get busted
But I'm going, Lord, with so many things to clean up
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
I've got to make my way clear before me
But I don't want to get mixed up
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
In any of that funky shit that goin' down before me
(CHORUS)
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
(CHORUS)
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5A5 E5E5 B5B5
