Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][G][Bm][G][Bm]
[D][G][Gm]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Standing at the win[Bm]dow[A]
[Bm]A farmer's wife [G]in Oxfordshire[Bm]
Glances [D]all the [Bm]clock
it's nearly time for tea
She does[D]n't see
The [G]phantom in the hedgerow
[D]dip its[Gm] wings
[G]Doesn't hear the engine [Em]sing
But the cockpit's techno glow
Behind the Ray [A]Ban (R) shine
[Bm]The kid from Cleveland
[Bdim]In the comfort of routine
[Bm]Scans his [G]dials and smiles
[Bm]Secure in the beauty of[Bdim]
military [Bm]life[G][Em]
There is no right or wrong
Only tin cans and cordite
and white cliffs
[G]And blue skies [A]and flight [D]flight fli[A]ght
[D]The beauty of military life
No [A]questions only orders and
[Am]flight [A]only [Am]flight[A][D]
[Em]What a beautiful sight
in his wild blue dream
The [A]eternal child leafs through his
War magazine
And his kind Uncle Sam
feeds ten trillion in
Change into the total en[D]tertainment
Combat video game
[Em]And up here in the stands
The fans are goin' wild
[A]The cheerleaders flip
When you wiggle your hip
And we all like the bit when you take
The jeans from the refrigerator and
The the bad [D]guy gets hit
And were you struck by the sat[Em]isfying
Way the swimsuit sticks to her skin
[A]Like BB gun days
When knives pierce autumn leaves
But that's okay see the children bleed
It'll look great on [D]the TV[Bm]
[G][Bm][Gm]
[Bm]And in Tripoli [G]another
ordinary [Bm]wife
[Em]Stares at the dripping tap
her old man hadn't
[A]Time to fix
Too busy mixing politics and rhythm
In the [D]street below

[Outro 1]
[D][Em][A]
