1.Leavin' home, out on the road
F5F5 C5C5
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
Bb majorBb FF C5C5
I've been thinkin' about my home
(By this point you could use full bar chords or keep the 5ths)
C5C5
But my love light seems so far away
Bb majorBb FF C5C5
And I feel like it's all been done
C5C5
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
Bb majorBb FF C majorC
You know I've got to be movin' on

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner

F5F5 C5C5
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
Bb majorBb FF C5C5
I might get rich you know I might get busted
C5C5
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
Bb majorBb FF C5C5
As I get on the 707
C5C5
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
Bb majorBb FF
You know you got to go through hell
C majorC
Before you get to heaven

Feel the heat comin' down

I've got to keep on keepin' on
Bb majorBb FF C5C5
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
C5C5
And I'm goin' with some hesitation
Bb majorBb FF C5C5
You know that I can surely see

That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Bb majorBb FF C majorC
Funky shit goin' down in the city
