D / D
VERSE 1
D
I live under the flightpath
Bm
And it don't get me down
Gmaj7
It's just a regular interruption
D
On the western side of town
D
They send Boeings and Tecoma
Bm
Near on fifty times a day
Gmaj7
But they sure can help me out when I've got
D
Nothing left to say
CHORUS
F#7 Gmaj7
Come over and watch them come all day
D
Someone's daddy's gone away
F#7 Gmaj7
Calling out from the flashing light
D
Someone's baby's home tonight
VERSE 2
D
I wear an earpiece to hear TV
Bm
'Coz I miss all the good lines now
Gmaj7
When a KLM airliner comes in
D
From Copenhagen town
D
I sit under the clothesline
Bm
I watch their stomachs white
Gmaj7
Like a body surfing city kid
D
The trail they leave behind
CHORUS
F#7 Gmaj7
Come over and watch them come all day
D
Someone's daddy's gone away
F#7 Gmaj7
Calling out from the flashing light
D
Someone's baby's home tonight

VERSE 3
D
I cough and watch it dissipate
Bm
As if it never was
Gmaj7
And I almost could believe it
D
‘cept for that black shit on my lawn
D
I live under the flightpath
Bm
Their the birds of the inner-west
Gmaj7
I sure would miss them if they weren't around
D
But do those fuckers ever rest?
