G
He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio
I was traveling to London
He was going off to Buffalo
C
Changing planes in Pittsburgh
G
We got grounded in a storm
D
Now, I would give anything
G
To be on that flyer's arm
G
We played cards, mostly blackjack
As we sat out on the tarmac
We sang songs we knew in Spanish
As we both loved songs of language
C
He'd heard me on the radio
G
I'd seen the flyers on San Antone
D
Now, I would give anything
G
To have that flyer for my own
C
God bless the flyer
G
Who would be flying home tonight
D
I would give anything
G
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
A
He said he'd never married
'cause, his heart was in the clouds
And I said I was too clumsy
That I broke the wings of the loves I found
D
He shouted out his name to me
A
As I ran to make my flight
E
Now, I would give anything
A
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
G
One year I watched a war in London
In the airport leaving London
And I wondered if I'd know him
If I saw his wings in motion
C
Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh...
G
In the lightening of that flight?
D
I wish that you could tell me now
G
Will he be flyin' home tonight?
C
God bless the flyer
G
Who would be flying home tonight
D
I would give anything
G
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
C
God bless the flyer
G
Who would be flying home tonight
D
I would give anything
G
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
