(break) 

                      G                      Am                    
Well I dreamt I went away on a steam powered aeroplane.                                     
  C                                           G 
I went and stayed and I damn near didn't come back again. 
               G                       Am                 
Didn't go very fast on a steam powered aeroplane,             
       C                                                    G  
Oh the wheels went around, up and down, and inside and then back again. 

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

                      G                         Am                    
Well I'd like to be a pi-lot on a steam powered aeroplane. 
         C                                     G 
Well I'd pull that pilot wheel around and then back again. 
                      G                                  Am                    
Well, I'd wear a blue hat, yeah, that says Steam Powered Aeroplane 
     C                                           G 
With letters that go all around the rim and then back again. 

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