The Steve Miller Band: JET AIRLINER
Key of C (capo 3rd fret)
A D A
Leavin home, out on the road
D A
I’ve been down befor e
A
Ridin’ along in this big ol jet plane
D A
I’ve been thinkin’ about my home
A
But my love light seems so far away
G D A
And I feel like its all been done
A
Somebodys tryin’ to make me stay
G D A
You know I’ve got to be m ovin on
(Chorus)
G D A
Oh, oh big ol je t airliner
G D A
Dont carry me too far away
G D A
Oh, oh big ol jet airliner
G D A
Cause it’s here that Ive got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I’ve trusted
I’ve got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin’ high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven
Chorus
Touchin’ down in New England town
Feel the heat comin’ down
I’ve got to keep on keepin’ on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinni’n around
And I’m goin’ with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I do’nt want to get caught up in any of that
Funky kicks goin’ down in the city
Chorus 2 times
