Capo:III

Intro: play the chords of the first verse

      G5                   D5
There hasn't been much to do for a long time
C5       G5       D5        G5
Someone won the war they say
       C5                    G5       E5
But he won't give thanks to you for thinking
A5                 D5
  We're far better off that way

       G5                      D5
For he wore the wings and the runway waited
C5        G5            D5       G5
Spitfire flies like a bird of prey
C5               G5       E5
Heinkels come again for hunting
A5                 D5
  As they did that far off May

       G5                        D5
And he rummages through all the books in view
    C5          G5             D5         G5
The belts, the badges, after something new
   C5                     G5        E5
He reads the novels to remind him when
A5                      D5
   He fought beside the best of men

G5                      D5
Ghosts and shades that haunt the memory
C5        G5         D5        G5
Words he hears but can't recall
  C5                   G5      E5
A place that brings a face before him
A5             D5
  Names upon a billet wall

G5                     D5
One more year and the boys reunion
C5      G5      D5        G5
Finds another face not there
C5                    G5     E5
  Still he wears the faded ribbon
A5                     D5
  Of the Cross and the Croix de Guerre

       G5                    D5
And he flies again with the boys in blue
    G5                    C5    G5
The Few remaining of the very few
   C5                         G5      E5
He tells the tales that he's told before
      A5                 D5
And he feels again the esprit de corps

       G5                    D5
With his victory roll and a mounting toll
       G5                     C5    G5
He's a fighter pilot with an aces soul
   C5                         G5       E5
He drinks with boys who will soon be men
       A5                D5
And he wakes at dawn, he flies again
        G5       C5       G5    D5
And he flies......... again

     G5              D5              G5  D5  G5
Able Baker, Charlie Two and Angels Ten,
         G5                D5                G5
And the fields of England pass beneath the men
            D5              G5
  Who fly again, who fly again
            D5              G5
  Who fly again, who fly again
            D5              G5   D5 G5
  Who fly again, who fly again
