Tom: D

Intro: /D /G /D /G (2x)

                 /D
    1. With your photographs of Kitty Hawk
               /A
       And the bi-planes on your wall
                /Am
       You were always Amy Johnson
                /G
       From the time that you were small
          /D
       No schoolroom kept you grounded
                  /A
       While your thoughts could get away
                /Am
       You were taking off in Tiger Moths
            /G                /Em                  /A
       Your wings against the brush-strokes of the day
               /D
 Ref.: Are you there ?
              /G              /A             /D
       On the tarmac with the winter in your hair
              /G           /A                 /Bm
       By the empty hangar doors you stop and stare
                 /Bm                             /Em
       Leave the oil-drums behind you, they won't care
       /A          /D       /D /C /G  /D /C /G  /D /C /G  /D /C /G
       Oh, are you there ?
       
    2. You wrapped me up in a leather coat
       And you took me for a ride
       We were drifting with the tail-wind
       When the runway came in sight
       The clouds came up to gather us
       And the cockpit turned to white
       When I looked the sky was empty
       I suppose you never saw the landing-lights
       
 Ref.: Are you there ?
       In your jacket with the grease-stain and the tear
       Caught up in the slipstream of the dare
       The compass roads will guide you anywhere
       Oh, are you there ?
       
    3. The sun comes up on Icarus
       As the night-birds sail away
       And lights the maps and diagrams
       That Leonardo makes
       You can see Faith, Hope and Charity
       As they bank above the fields
       You can join the flying circus
       You can touch the morning air against your wheels
       
 Ref.: Are you there ?
       Do you have a thought for me that you can share
       I never thought you'd take me unawares
       Just call me if you ever need repairs
       Oh, are you there ?
