It's easy to play the song in C-major. Perhaps you have to transpose it or
use a capo if you want to play with the original recording.

Intro:  C F C F
       C (x32010@1)                    FWe're (133211@1)sitting out here on the runway,
C (x32010@1)                      FWaiting (133211@1)for the plane to leave,
        C (x32010@1)                          FAnd (133211@1)the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay,

     C (x32010@1)               F (133211@1)
