Steam Powered Aeroplane

Written By: John Hartford

Well I never went (G)away on a Steam Powered (Am)Aero plane.
Well I went and (C)stayed and damn near (D)didn't come back (G)again.
Didn't go very (G)fast on a steam powered (Am)aero plane,
Oh the wheel went (C)around, up and (D)down, and inside and back (G)again.

(Am)Sittin' in a 747 just (Bm)watching them clouds roll by,
(Am)Can't tell if it's sunshine or if it's (G)rain.
Rather be (Am)sittin' in a deck chair high (Bm)above Kansas City,
(Am)On a genuine(Bm) old fashioned(C)steam powered
(C#) aero (D)plane.

Well I'd like to be a (G)pilot on a steam powered (Am)aero plane.
Well I'd (C)pull that pilot wheel (D)around and then back (G)again.
Well, I'll wear a blue (G)hat, yeah, that says Steam Powered (Am)Aero plane
With (C)letters that go around the (D)rim and then back (G)again.
