Verse 1
(G major) (C major) Ten and Johnny told me
it was easy (D major) to fly a phantom
They told (G major) me how it looked to fly that plane (C major)
He just pulled back on the stick
at the point (D major) of no return
He nev (G major) er took his takeoff speed in vain (C major)
Just a little bit of flaps
for his max (D major) imum rate of climb
And his flight (G major) plan was always
in plan (C major) (D major) (G major)
(C major)
Now on board the Phantom
was another man called the E .W .O.,
which (E flat major) is short for the Elec
(G major) tronics Weapons Officer.
And he had the sorry task
of dropping your 250 to 500
to 1 ,000 -pound bom (C major) b bombs.
(A major) He also had the sorry task
of (D major) firing the modern -day Gatling gun,
(G major) which can fire air (E flat major) -to -air mis (A flat major) siles
in (G major) quick suc (A minor) cession
(A major) against (D major) your big 17s and 21s,
which, (C major) if any good friendly
fire (G major) would tell you,
just couldn't touch (C major) you. (G major)
Now, (C major) in all fairness to this electronic weapon officer,
Lieutenant John told me
that he did (E flat major) n't really (G major) enjoy it,
especially when he had to drop
your anti -personnel bomb,
which exploded into shrapnel,
broken (C major) glass, ball bearings,
an (A major) d kill any human or animal
(D major) in a given radius,
(G major) depending upon the size of the anti
-personnel bomb (A minor) used. (D major)
After each mission,
Lieutenant John (C major) told me
how he (G major) would go home
and have (C major) a few beers with (G major)
his buddies. (C major)
Just about everybody
expressed some distaste
for what they (F major) were ordered to (G major) do.
Some wondered why they even
got into the whole thing at all.
Because there are a lot better things
(C major) you can do with a beautiful (A major) airplane. (D major) (G major)
He told (A flatdim) me, (A minor) cause (D major) I love the man who told me,
(C major) love (G major) is mine. (C major) (G major)
Lieu (C major) tenant John had told me
it was easy (D major) to fly a banner.
Oh, he told (G major) me how he got to fly that plane. (C major)
He just pulled back on the stick
at the point (D major) of no return
And he nev (G major) er took his
takeoff speed in vain (C major)
Just a little bit of flaps
for his max (D major) imum rate of climb
And his flight (G major) plan
was always to be planned (C major)
Now rainy day flight
didn't bother (D major) him at all
Because he (G major) knew that rain
just like he knew the palm of

his hand
