VERSE:
  C5            F5          C5
Leavin' home, out on the road
 F5                C5
I've been down before

Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
            F5                C5
I've been thinkin' about my home

But my love light seems so far away
       Bb5             F5        C5
And I feel like it's all been done

Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
               Bb5       F5      C5
You know I've got to be movin' on


CHORUS:
C5      Bb5       F5      C5
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
 Bb5             F5        C5
Don't carry me too far away
        Bb5      F5      C5
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
            Bb5             F5      C5
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

VERSE:
 C5                  F5         C5
Goodbye to all my friends at home
     F5                   C5
Goodbye to people I've trusted

I've got to go out and make my way
        F5                              C5
I might get rich you know I might get busted

But my heart keeps calling me backwards
      Bb5         F5       C5
As I get on the Seven-O-Seven

Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
             Bb5                 F5
You know you got to go through hell
           C5
Before you get to heaven


CHORUS:
Bb5       F5      C5
Big ol' jet airliner
 Bb5             F5        C5
Don't carry me too far away
        Bb5      F5      C5
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
            Bb5             F5      C5
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

VERSE:
 C5                    F5       C5
Touchin' down in New England town
 F5                    C5
Feel the heat comin' down

I've got to keep on keepin' on
              F5                  C5
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around

And I'm goin' with some hesitation
              Bb5     F5      C5
You know that I can surely see

That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Bb5     F5          C5
Funky shit goin' down in the city
