G X 5

         G5
A couple guys in first class on a flight 
                         B5
From new York to Los Angeles, 

Kinda making small talk killing time, 
                                   C5
Flirting with the flight attendants, 

30, 000 feet above, could be Oklahoma, 
       G5
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms, 
                     B5
Man it all looks the same, 

Miles and miles of back roads and highways, 
                                     C5
Connecting little towns with unknown names, 
                                               D5
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere,


CHORUS:

              G5                  C5
They've never drove through Indiana, 
                G5
Met the men who plowed that earth, 
                   D5
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me, 
            
            G5               C5
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas, 
                  D5                      C5
They'd understand why god made those fly over states


VERSE:

G5                                                               B5
 I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
                                                           C5
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul

Road and rails under their feet
D5 
 Yeah that sounds like a first class seat




CHORUS: 
       G5             C5
On the plains of Oklahoma 
              G5
Where the windshield sunset in your eyes
       D5
Like a watercolor painted sky


            G5                  C5        
You'd think heavens doors have opened
                  D5
You'll understand why god made 
          C5
Those fly over states

[solo]


       G5               C5
Take a ride across the badlands
G5 
Feel that freedom on your face
D5
Breathe in all that open space

       G5             C5
Meet a girl from Amarillo
                  G5
You'll understand why god made
                  C5 
Why you'd want to plant your stakes
             D5
In those fly over states
