Welcome!  I was a little bemused and disgusted when I saw that there 
were only about five Guster songs for guitar on this site, so I am determined to tab every song that 
guster has done (which will probably end up being one or two, sadly).  So here is my shot at the well-known Airport Song.  It's fun to 
play, and I can see why they play it at every show.  I saw them play it live once, and it was exquisite.  Well, enough rambling.  E-mail me 
at zachman3423@hotmail.com with any questions, insults, concerns, comments, or compliments.  

This is in standard tuning, and CAPO SECOND FRET!  Or tune up a whole step if you are so inclined.

It starts like this, and the rhythm isn't exact; therefore, just listen to the song and play along.

E--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------     Part 1
G--------------------------------------------------
D---------2-2---------2-2--------2-2-----------    <----Play this four times.  Then you do these two chords:
A---4-4--------444-------444--------44------                       
E-------------------------------------------- 2-2

(Strum them how they sound on the album.)
E---------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------
D---2----------------------2-----------------------          Part 2
A---4----------------------6-----------------------
E---5----------------------7-----------------------

^^^Repeat that part until Ryan starts singing.  Then you strum these chords below.  Once again, strum 
as you so desire.
E---2---------2--------2--------2--
B---5---------5--------2--------2---
G---6---------4--------6--------5--   Part 3
D---6---------4--------7--------6--
A---4---------2--------7--------6--
E-----------------------5--------4--


And then the part they play for the chorus and at the end of the song (rhythm not 
included):

E---------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------     Part 4.  (Play Part 2 again when Adam sings "I'll be 
G---------------------------------------------------------------         hiding in your dirty room," and "la-ti-da we'll stay 
D---11-----------11-----11-----------------------------          there till we bleed."  Then go back to Part 4)
A---11-----------9--------9---------------------------
E----9----------- 9-------0----------------------------

E------------------
B-----------------
G------4--------   Part 5.  This chord is played at the end of Part 3 at about 2:14 on the album.  It only 
D------4--------      happens once though, before they go into Part 4 and stay there until the sounds fades 
A------2---------        away.
