Fly Over States Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][C]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]A couple guys in first class on a flight
From New York to Los Angel[Em]es
Kinda making small talk killing time
Flirting with the flight attendants
[F]Thirty thousand feet above,
[Dm]could be Oklahoma
[C]Just a bunch of square cornfields
and wheat farms
Man it all looks the same
[Em]Miles and miles of back roads and highways
Connecting little towns with funny names
[F]Who'd want to live down there
[Dm]in the middle of nowhe[G]re

[Chorus 1]
They've never [Am]drove through Indi[F]ana
Met the men who [C]plowed that earth
Planted that seed, [G]busted his ass
for [E]you and me
Or caught a [Am]harvest moon in [F]Kansas
They'd understand [G]why God made
those fly [F]over states

[Verse 2]
[C]I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train
engineer's seen it [Em]all
Just like that flatbed cowboy
stacking US steel on a 3-day [F]haul
Roads and rails under their feet
[Dm]Yeah, that sounds like a first[G] class seat

[Chorus 2]
On the [Am]plains of Okla[F]ho ma
Where they wind[C]shield sunset in your eyes
Like a [G]watercolor paint[E]ed sky
You'd [Am]think heaven's doors
have [F]o pened
You'll understand [G]why God made
Those fly [F]over states

[Solo 1]
[Am][Slide][F][C][G][E]

[Chorus 3]
Take a [Am]ride across the [F]badlands
[C]Feel that freedom on your face
[G]Breathe in all that [E]open space
Meet a [Am]girl from Amaril[F]lo
You'll understand [G]why God made
You might even want
[F]to plant your stakes
In those fly [C]o v[C]er states

[Solo 2]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Outro 1]
Have you ever [Am]been through Indi[F]ana
[C][G][E]
On the [Am]plains of Okla[F]homa[C][G]
Take a [Am]ride[F]
[C][G]
