Good evening and welcome to
Void Union Airlines.
Please stand by for a quick
announcement
from our captain.
Bm 
D 
 (B minor) This  (D major) is your captain,
A 
 (A major) Dr. Madvibe speaking.
Em 
A 
 (E minor) Now  (A major) before we get into all of that
fasten your seatbelt
and make sure your tray tables
are locked up into position crap,
D 
 (D major) this is for those of you
Bm 
D 
who do a lot of extens (B minor) ive  fly (D major) ing,
nationally and abroad,
Bm 
and you are periodically spooked  (B minor) out
D 
A 
about put (D major) ting your life  (A major) in
the belly of a big steel bird,
Em 
A 
 (E minor) An    (A major) d your fear of flying
is keeping you from exploring
new possibilities
Em 
A 
 (E minor) and  raking in  (A major) that cabbage.
D 
 (D major) Let's get rid of that fear
of flying right now
Bm 
and deal  (B minor) with the hand
D 
G 
 (D major) that fate's  (G major) got waiting for us.
Bm 
G 
D 
Here I am  (B minor) sitting on  (G major) an other airplane.  (D major) 
Bm 
A 
D 
 (B minor) Each  (A major) time I sit on a  (D major) plane
I roll the dice of my life,
Em 
G 
hoping I  (E minor) won't get to  (G major) paradise
but just to my next destination.
A 
 (A major) A week ago from today
from when my pen hit this page,
D 
A plane  (D major) full of people
went crashing down into a
Bm 
fiery rage.  (B minor) 
A 
Nobody lived.  (A major) 
Em 
Everybody died.  (E minor) 
A 
I wonder what  (A major) the look
on everybody's face
Em 
was like when the plane  (E minor) in the air
A 
did a swivel and a pike  (A major) and skeletons
D 
 (D major) and freedom flew wacky and wild
and life for them if we knew
Bm 
D 
 (B minor) it was in  (D major) denial.
That's right.
I'm scared of planes now
A 
more  (A major) than ever before.
The fear of hitting the ground
in an air is no more.
I got a window seat this time
Em 
as opposed to  (E minor) an aisle seat
A 
D 
So  (A major) that I can see the  (D major) big,
talky, jet engine wing
hanging from underneath the
Bm 
D 
wing  (B minor) that looks too  (D major) heavy
for the wing to hold up in the first place
C 
as we sit here at the gate.  (C major) 
Em 
With fear, I say,  (E minor) with fear,
A 
I'm trembling  (A major) at the thought of this airplane
Em 
being held  (E minor) up   thousands of miles
A 
D 
in the air  (A major) that weighs multiple  (D major) tons,
built by imperfect human beings
G 
that makes mistakes all  (G major) the time.
Bm 
G 
 (B minor) Hell, man,  (G major) what if there's a smudge
or a ping
D 
or  (D major) a scratch on the wing?
Bm 
D 
Or what if there is some  (B minor) faulty wir (D major) ing that somebody
G 
has  (G major) disconnected from the engine to the gas line
and one of the mechanics
A 
forgot to  (A major) reconnect it again.
And the only one that is paying attention
G 
Em 
G 
to this act  (G major) of incom (E minor) pet   (G major) ence is me.
D 
Hell  (D major) man, if this plane was built
by a god or an angel,
Bm 
G 
Em 
I  (B minor) wouldn't  (G major) have to sit  (E minor) in my seat
G 
 (G major) thinking of all this scariness.
A 
Who  (A major) knows man,
we probably have wings on our backs
D 
like all of the rest of the advanced  (D major) ghosts
or upper scale human beings.
Bm 
A 
Then  (B minor) we wouldn't need any planes,  (A major) 
Em 
A 
we'd just fly over  (E minor) the  range ourselves.  (A major) 
So real, like Salvador Dali
and natural -born killers,
D 
or Samson being  (D major) tempted by Delilah
while trying to hold up
Bm 
the pillars of the temple.  (B minor) 
G 
I  (G major) feel like an ant, real insignificant.
D 
Bm 
D 
Oh,  (D major) this feeling  (B minor) of   betray (D major) al,
oh, like brimstone and hail,
G 
when the truth is supposed to  (G major) prevail,
D 
G 
I  (D major) feel like  (G major) I'm in a big steel casket
with wings on it,
A 
 (A major) trying to get close to outer space.
G 
Now  (G major) here comes the runway now.
We're about three planes in line.
D 
 (D major) Well, it's our turn.
It feels pretty neat
G 
when a plane pulls me back  (G major) into the seat.
The takeoff process is down the runway,
A 
and  (A major) soon the friendly skies we will meet.
D 
 (D major) Well, here we are,
off into the wild blue yonder
A 
where the an (A major) gels fly and cruise.
I hope we make it there alive
so I can read this to you.
Em 
A 
 (E minor) This  (A major) is your captain, Dr. MadBob.
D 
 (D major) We hope you enjoyed your flight.
