Capo 2

VERSE 1
G
It was Ansett 603
         Em
He sits down next to me
         C                            G
We were flyin' out across the Great Divide
G
Bound for WA
             Em
He shook my hand and said g'day
C                              D 
There I was, Slim Dusty by my side

CHORUS
        C      D       G
I was flyin' with the king
               Em
Ridin' on the wind
                        C
A small town boy from nowhere
                    D
My head up in the clouds
          C      D          G
All the times I heard him play
                Em
And here I was today
        C             D               G
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king


VERSE 2
      G
Was Trumby ridin' slow
 Em
30,000 feet below
  C                                    G
Way down there round a fire of gidgee coal
  G
The desert stretchin' on
         Em
Home to countless Dusty songs
    C                                D
He was the man who walked a country mile

(Repeat through the rest of the song)

CHORUS
I was flyin' with the king
Ridin' on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king

(solo)

BRIDGE
Before I knew the wheels touched down
He smiled and said "I'll see you round"
There was so much more to say but he was gone
An' now he's gone…

CHORUS
I was flyin' with the king
Ridin' on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king

End on G.
