Langhorne Slim & The Law - Airplane
From "The Spirit Moves"
Characteristic of many of his songs, Sean walks between the chords in a flatpicking pattern - have fun with it
Capo 3
[Intro]
G Em G Em
G
You and I've got our backs against the wall
Em
If we stay down, we won't have far to fall
G
But it's no fun relying on defenses
Em
We get our kicks swinging for the fence
C
And I said yes
G C
I wanna fly my airplane tonight
G C
It's so hard down here to unwind
G C G
I ain't lost, but you can't find me
Em
When I said you're strange
C G
It was a compliment you know
Em G Em
G
Spend most of my time lost at the races
Em
Now we get by making funny faces
G
Some people live trying to be forgiven
Em
That might be life, oh but that ain't livin'
C
I said yes
G C
I wanna fly my airplane tonight
G C
It's so hard down here to unwind
G C
I ain't lost, but you can't find me
C Em C Em C
Em
And though I see you in the mirror
G
I'm certain we will disappear some day
Em
Maybe the wave that brought us here
G
Will be the same that washes us away
Em
The pilot don't know how to stop
G
Trying to lose these thoughts that bring me down
Em
Forget the lessons we were taught
G
That have tamed us and pinned us to the ground
C Em D
La-ooooooo oooo oooo
G Em G Em
G
You and I have got our backs against the wall
Am C
We don't move, no one throws you the ball
G
Life a dance between riding the bench
Em Am Em
And waiting for your chance to swing for the fence
C
I said yes
G C
I wanna fly my airplane tonight
G C
It's so hard down here to unwind
G C
I ain't lost, come and find me
G
When I said you're strange
C G
It was a compliment you know
