VERSE 1

  D
I live under the flightpath
    Bm
And it don't get me down
            Gmaj7
It's just a regular interruption
                       D
On the western side of town
          D
They send Boeings and Tecoma
        Bm
Near on fifty times a day
         Gmaj7
But they sure can help me out when I've got
                D
Nothing left to say

CHORUS

F#7                                  Gmaj7
   Come over and watch them come all day
                        D
Someone's daddy's gone away
F#7                              Gmaj7
   Calling out from the flashing light
                        D
Someone's baby's home tonight

VERSE 2
          D
I wear an earpiece to hear TV
       Bm
'Coz I miss all the good lines now
       Gmaj7
When a KLM airliner comes in
                D
From Copenhagen town
  D
I sit under the clothesline
  Bm
I watch their stomachs white
       Gmaj7
Like a body surfing city kid
                       D
The trail they leave behind

CHORUS

F#7                                  Gmaj7
   Come over and watch them come all day
                        D
Someone's daddy's gone away
F#7                              Gmaj7
   Calling out from the flashing light
                        D
Someone's baby's home tonight

VERSE 3

      D
I cough and watch it dissipate
   Bm
As if it never was
      Gmaj7
And I almost could believe it
                                 D
?cept for that black sh*t on my lawn
  D
I live under the flightpath
        Bm
Their the birds of the inner-west
         Gmaj7
I sure would miss them if they weren't around
                            D
But do those f**kers ever rest?
