E 
Her father fought in the great war  
      A               E 
In an aeroplane named Bree 

He gave his love to a pretty girl  
          A                        E 
And said, "Baby you're the one for me" 

And though her name was Bree,  
         A              E 
He still found it all a shock 

When he found out she was an airplane,  
A 
The stork began to knock 


  A 
A baby girl was born  
         E 
With air rudders on her back 
    A 
She picked up airwave frequencies  
    E 
And petrol was her favorite snack 
          A 
Whale she bubbled noises like an airplane  
E 
Every time she sang 
             A 
And her heart it loved so hungrily,  
    E 
And roared like a Mustang 



That's why they called her 


Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
                       D 
That girl was meant to fly 
   Bm          A 
So prep the runway 
Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
                       D 
That girl will soar away 


           E 
She was an angel in her blue dress  
                  A                  E 
When Little Jimmy Wright took her to prom 

The young pilot said he loved her,  
    A                     E 
And oil began to clam her palm 

Whale he was lost in the sky  

And they said he had died,  
    Amaj7            E 
But I know something more 

They only found Jimmy's goggles, 
       A 
In his plane upon the floor 



Well years went by  

And she still looked to the sky, 
    E 
Her feelings did not disperse 
          A 
She could fly any plane just like an ace 
         E 
And kept goggles in her purse 
        A 
And she swore she still heard Jimmy singing,  
E 
"That'll Be the Way Home" 
A 
It would haunt her from her radio  
E 
In each sky that she would roam 



Jimmy's voice echoed 


Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
                        D 
I'm sorry that I flew away 

But just remember 
Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
Amaj7  E 
Air   heart 
                                  D 
Keep flapping and you'll soar one day 



Lets Fly! 
E6 A E A E A E Amaj7 E A E A E A E A 

             E             Amaj7 
Do you wanna sail into the sky? 
E               A 
Soar across the stars? 
E             A 
Sail into the sky? 
E               A 
Soar across the stars? 
E             A 
Sail into the sky? 
E               A 
Soar across the stars? 
    B 
The stars? 
    C 
The stars?! 
    D 
The stars! 


A                 
Then one fateful day  
     E       
Ended with a storm streaked sky 
    A 
Her plane crashed into the mountain side,  
        E 
Was she flying much too high? 
     A             
They only found Jimmy's goggles  
       E 
In her plane upon the floor 
  A 
I hope she's up there somewhere with him  
E 
Kissing on a cloudy shore 



The birds were singing 


Amaj7 E 
Airheart 
Amaj7 E 
Airheart 
                       D 
That girl was meant to fly 

So prep the runway 
Amaj7 E 
Airheart 
Amaj7 E 
Airheart 
                        D 
That girl will soar one day
