Libby - From Another Passenger - 1976

F                 
If all our flights are grounded
Em7                    A7
Libby, we'll go to Paris
      Bb
And dance along the boulevards
          Am7             D7
And have no one to embarrass
G
Puttin' on the Ritz in style
          F#m7        B7
With an Arab and an heiress
E             E7    A
Libby, we'll fly anyway
F#m   E               Am7
And leave behind our blues
D                  E
Half sung melodies
        Am7           D
We'll trade them all in
         G 
For a Paris breeze
              C   
Libby, we'll fly

F  G

C
See how dark the circles grow
       Bm7                E7
In a town that has no light
     A            
So many eyes just staring out
 F#m7                B7
Into the bloodshot night

      E        E7             A
And Libby, I hate to see you cry
    F#m
And I
           E               Am7
Want to share it all with you
             D                  E
And if it brings us to our knees
        Am7         D        G
We'll trade it all in for a Paris breeze
              C 
Libby, we'll fly 

F                   
They say it don't come easy
          Em7
And they say that love is blind
     Bb
If you're afraid to be close
       Am7             D7
Then love is hard to find
             G
And if you spend too much time winning love
         F#m7          B7
There's no time to be kind
     E           E7
And Libby, I'm guilty of your crimes

F#m         E        Am7
I'm just another passenger
D                     E
Travelling on these crazy high seas
Am7          D
Very likely be the same
       G 
In a Paris breeze
          C
Libby, we'll fly away

F  G


F                 
If all our flights are grounded
Dm                    G7
Libby, we'll go to Paris
      C              
And wish we were back home again
       Bm7
Or sailing on the ocean
          A
Just a window and a drink
             F#m7       B7
To set our dreams in motion
E                      E7 A   F#m
But Libby, we'll fly anyway, hey
      E          Am7
And leave our blues
D           E
Half sung melodies
Am7            D          G
Trade them all in for a Paris breeze
              C           E   F   G
Libby, we'll fly............
