I Flew Over Our House Last Night


D G
That old Kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day
A G D
The stars were twinklin' in the milky way
G
The pilot said "If you look close, there's Frankfort on the right"
A D D7
I flew over our house last night



G D
Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep
G D A
And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep
D G 
So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right
A D 
I flew over our house last night



G 
For just one second I thought I was back in town
A G D
The man your friends all say has only brought you down
G 
The airline hostess asked me sir "Are you sure that you're alright"
A D D7
I flew over our house last night



G D
Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep
G D A
And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep
D G 
I wondered did you toss n' turn as I roared out of sight
A D
I flew over our house last night
