VERSE 1:
[C] Leavin' home,
[F] out on the
[C] road
[F] I've been down be-
[C]-fore
[C] Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been
[F] thinkin' about my
[C] home
PRE-CHORUS 1:
But my
[C] love light seems so far away
And I
[Bb] feel like it's
[F] all been
[C] done
[C] Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've
[Bb] got to be
[F] movin'
[C] on
CHORUS:
Oh
[Bb] big ol'
[F] jet air-
[C]-liner
[Bb] Don't carry me
[F] too far a-
[C]-way
Oh
[Bb] big ol'
[F] jet air-
[C]-liner
Cause its
[Bb] here that I've
[F] got to
[C] stay
VERSE 2:
[C] Goodbye to all my
[F] friends at
[C] home
Good-
[F]-bye to people I've
[C] trusted
[C] I've got to go out and make my way
I might get
[F] rich you know I might get
[C] busted
PRE-CHORUS 2:
But my
[C] heart keeps calling me backwards
As I
[Bb] get on the
[F] seven-o-
[C]-seven
[C] Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you
[Bb] got to go
[F] through hell before you
[C] get to heaven
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
[C] Touchin' down in new
[F] england
[C] town
[F] Feel the heat comin
[C] down
I've
[C] got to keep on, keepin' on
You know the
[F] big wheel keeps on
[C] spinnin' around
PRE-CHORUS 3:
And I'm
[C] goin' with some hesitation
You know that
[Bb] I can
[F] surely
[C] see
That I
[C] don't want to get caught up
In any of that
[Bb] funky
[F] kicks goin
[C] down in the city
REPEAT CHORUS: [x3]
