A man needs an airplane  (Happy Chichester)


      G        Dm                A A9sus4
I was hoping I could talk with you

        Bb             Gm             Dm          C       Csus4 C
But the phone was disconnected when I finally got through.

        G                   Dm        A     A9sus4
And the thought of you came on like a crash
        Bb               Gm              Dm         C     Csus4   C
And the time I had for breakfast made me hunger for cash.
              G         Dm                 A  A9sus4
And the words I lived I wrote you too late
      Bb               Gm                Dm             C    Csus4 C
Coz I had to find your mother to hear you moved out of state.
        G             Dm              A  A9sus4
And the phases of the moon are in time

         Bb            Gm                   Dm 
With the way my mood reflects all the crazy thoughts in my mind.

F          Ffl5w5 F                      C 
Somewhere, I bet, somebody?s asking your name.

                           Gm           Bb                   F       Dm  C Gm
A man needs an airplane to let him know that all is alright

                           
               Bb                                      F 
A man needs an airplane to bring him back to earth sometimes 

Am
       And to get away with?

G             Dm           A    A9sus4
Afternoon has left me again
        Bb             Gm             Dm              C
And the colours of the evening look nothing like your skin.
        G               Dm             A  A9sus4
And the coolness of the breezes enfold
      Bb              Gm               Dm 
And I see your pale reflection coming across the unknown.

  F               Ffl5w5          F        C 
I don?t know why, you look like a bride to me.


                            Gm           Bb                   F     Dm  C

   A man needs an airplane to bring him back to earth sometimes 

          Dm      C                           G     Dm
Oh an airplane to let him know that he?s not alone

C            G         Dm
Satisfy his need for a song

C                G      F
Wait on him when he disappears


C                   Gm
