Verse 1
G 
William wakes with his clothes on
C 
G 
The morning call has been hanged on
And he might not make the flight
But he will try
Bit by bit it comes back to him
A bunch of Belgian businessmen
And a strange drinking game
Oh God, why?
D 
Am 
Come home, Billy Bird
Em 
In time,
A 
that's your business traveler
D 
C 
Come home, Billy Bird
G 
He hails a cow but the driver sucks
He drives so slowly
and he talks so much that it hurts
C 
G 
C

But William bangs on her knees

Well, okay
Well, okay

that things can't get no worse
Gsus4

But      then a voice says,

bags that can't be stowed
F

In the overhead lockers
