F

[Verse 1]
F
From 20,000 feet high, I saw the lights below me
                     Bb                      F
Twinkling just like Christmas, We descended slowly
F
And the curve of the world passed, with all of that flying
                 Bb                         F
above the mighty ocean, and now we all are arriving
F
Grab the carry on baggage, join the herd for the mad run
                   Bb                             F
take place in the long line, where does everyone come from
F
As we shuffle on forward, as we wait for inspection
                      Bb                       F
Dont be holding that line up, at the end lies redemption
F                            Bb
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, ah ah ah


[Verse]
F
Now I'm stamped and I'm waved through, I take up my position
                     Bb                        F
at the mouth of the cannon, saying prayers of contrition
F
Please deliver my suitcase, from all mischief and peril
                     Bb                         F
now the sight of it circling, is a hymn to the faithful
F
Forgive my staring, for my unconcealed envy
                 Bb                            F
in the hall of arrivals, where the great river empties
F
Its hand carts and porters, all the people it carries
                    Bb                        F
to be greeted with flowers, grandfathers and babies
F         Bb           F
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh

[Verse 3]
F
There is no one to meet me, yet I'm all but surrounded
                  Bb                    F
by the tears and embracing, by the joy unbounded
F
The friends and relations, Leaping over hemispheres
                Bb                      F
Transcendental Reunion, all borders vanish here
F
We are travellers travelling, we are gypsies together
                    Bb                            F
we're philosophers gathering, we are business or pleasure
F
We are going or coming, we are just finding our way
                   Bb                        F
to the next destination and from night into day
C          Bb           F
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh
C          Bb           F
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh


[Outro]
F
In a giant bird's belly, I flew over the ocean
                      Bb                               F
from twenty thousand feet high, how those lights were glowing
