The Great Airplane Strike

[A] [G] [A]

[A]I was down in L.A. [G]Town when our [A]manager said, [G]jump.
I [A]threw my clothes and my [G]saxophone in a [A]two by
four-bit [G]trunk.
I [A]pushed it to the [G]airport, and I [A]ran to the ticket [G]line..
[A]man said, 'Son, you could have [G]saved the run, those [A]aiplanes

just quit flyin.'

[A]If I can't [D]leave here, I just might [E]stay..
and that [B7]L.A. flyway is [E]goin' to be my [A]home.[G]  [A]    [G]

[A]I ran through the terminal [G]building to [A]fly by my air[G]line.
The [A]man said I could ride the [G]wing, and [A]I said that was [G]fine.
He said, '[A]I'll confirm your [G]reservation and [A]put the plane on
[G]hold.'
He come [A]back and said, '[G]Sorry, but that [A]wing space just been

sold.'

[A]If I can't [D]leave here, I just might [E]stay..
and that [B7]L.A. flyway is [E]goin' to be my [A]home.[G]  [A]    [G]

I [A]walked into the washroom [G]and I [A]built myself a [G]fire..
[A]threw on lots of [G]paper and the [A]flames kept gettin' [G]higher.
The [A]janitor come runnin' [G]in, so [A]scared his face was [G]white..
so, [A]I explained my [G]situation, [A]he said, 'That's all right.'

[A]If I can't [D]leave here, I just might [E]stay..
and that [B7]L.A. flyway is [E]goin' to be my [A]home.[G]  [A]    [G]

Next [A]day I thought that I would [G]leave, so I [A]packed
my things a[G]gain.
I [A]waited fourteen hours [G]for a [A]taxi to come [G]in.
I [A]spotted one that wasn't [G]full, and I threw [A]myself in [G]fast.
[A]The driver said, 'I'm sorry, [G]but this [A]taxi's out of gas!'

[A]If I can't [D]leave here, I just might [E]stay..
and that [B7]L.A. flyway is [E]goin' to be my [A]home.[G]  [A]    [G]
