capo: 1 fret


C5
I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska
                                                         F5
The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'Hare".
       G5
While on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me,
                                        C5
"My God, they're throwing guitars out there"

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror

At the action on the tarmat, and knowing whose projectiles these would be

So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees

Who showed complete indifference towards me


F5
United...

(United...
                     C5
You broke my Taylor Guitar
F5
United...

(United...)
                  C5
Some big help you are


                          G5
You broke it, you should fix it
                      F5
You're liable, just admit it
                        G5
I should've flown with someone else
     F5   C5 G5
Or gone by car
                       C5
'Cause United breaks guitars.

When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected

My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'Hare

So began a year long sagan, of "pass the buck", "don't ask me", and "I'm sorry, 

sir, your claim can go no where".

So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli

Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "no".


G5
I heard all your excuses,

And I've chased your wild gooses
                                      C5
And I say this attitude of yours must go

United...

(United...)

You broke my Taylor Guitar

United...

(United...)

Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it

You're liable, just admit it

I should've flown with someone else

Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.


F5
Well, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again,

'Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would,
                       
But that won't likely happen,


 F5                                     G5
And if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggage
                           F5
'Cause you'd just go and break it,
                  G5
Into a thousand pieces,
                         F5
Just like you broke my heart
       G5              C5
When United breaks guitars
.

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.
