EC#7
I woke up at four
F#B
Callin’ my dad to see if he can drop me off at the airport
EC#7F#
My carry-on bag, has enough clothes
B
to last me
EC#7
I got it all set up
F#B
Twitter location updated so my feed won’t be berated with the
EC#7
"Hey where are you?
F#B
Don’t ignore me"
[Prechorus]
AG#
I’ll tell ‘em that, (I'll tell 'em that) I’m gonna be in Bangor (Bangor, Maine)
A
I hope they can keep, their jealousy under wraps
[Chorus]
AE
The doors draw back by themselves and I awaken
AE
Hear the wind blowin’ in my ears
AEC#
Though the seat next to me may contain something contagious
F#B
An itch can’t pull the smile out 'a me
AE
Now the seat belt light is on if you can make it to the
AG#
bathroom it’s already too late
AE/BC#
So, put your headphones on and when you open your
F#BE
eyes you’ll be in Maine
[Pilot Intercom Solo]
EC#7F#
Well everyone we've reached our cruising altitude of
B
'bout 35,000 feet
EC#7
It looks like... blue skies from here til Portland
F#B
We'll be touching on the ground in about, uhhhhh, 25 minutes
[Verse 2]
EC#7F#
I step out into the conditioned air of the glorious
BE
Portland International Jetport (no smoking please)
C#7F#B
Yes, all eleven gates of it...
EC#7
And whoa! all the lights, the blurry sights
F#B
You know that those sights seem so unsightly
EC#7F#B
I’ll give it a day or two, to see if the sun keeps this shade of gray, yeah
[Prechorus]
AG#
I hit the club, or should I say the Denny’s
A
Maybe I’ll go mess with Stephen King
[Chorus]
AE
The doors draw back by themselves and I awaken
AE
Hear the wind blowin’ in my ears
AEC#
Though the seat next to me may contain something contagious
F#B
An itch can’t pull the smile out 'a me
AE
Now the seat belt light is on if you can make it to the
AG#
bathroom it’s already too late
AE/BC#
So, put your headphones on and when you open your
F#BE
eyes you’ll be in Maine
[Break]
EC#7F#B
(Scatting)
EC#7F#B
(More scatting)
EC#7F#BEC#7F#B
Snow hats, lobsters, pine trees, chowder
EC#7F#BEC#7F#B
Snow hats, lobsters, pine trees, chowder
EC#7F#BEC#7F#B
Snow hats, lobsters, pine trees, chowder (one, two, come on)
[Chorus]
AE
The doors draw back by themselves and I awaken
AE

So, put your headphones on and when you open your
F#BE

[Outro]
EC#7F#BE
(Scatting) You'll be in Maine
C#7F#B
Woo Maine
EC#7F#B
You know, um, since I wrote this I have not been back to Maine
EC#7F#BE
But I have been to Florida... and it... uh... it's not...
N.C.
Suck it, Florida
