Steam Powered Aereoplane
John Hartford
Standard G tuning on Banjo, No Capo.
Good luck with the picking!
Intro
G-Am-C-G
G Am
Well I dream't I went away on a steam powered aereoplane
Am C
I went and I stayed and I damn near didn't come back again.
G Am
I didn't go very fast on a steam powered aereoplane
Am C
Oh the wheel went around and up and down and inside and then back again
(Refrain)
Am G
Sitting in a 747 just watching those clouds roll by.
Am G
Can't tell if it's sunshine or if it's rain.
Am G
I'd rather be sitting in a deck chair high up over Kansas City
Am D
On a genuine old fashioned authentic steam powered aereoplane!
Intro (solo section)
G-Am-C-G
(Verse 2) Chords are the same
Well I'd like to be pilot on a steam powered aereoplane
Well I'd pull that pilot wheel around and then back again.
And i wear a blue hat (Yeah!) that says steam powered aereoplane
The letters up around the brim and then back again.
(Refrain)
Enjoy folks!
