    He 
    was 

    a flyer 
    for 
    the 
    Air 
    For
    ce 

    On 
    a plane 
    from San 
    Antonio 

    I 
    was 
    traveling 
    to London 

    He 
    was 
    going 
    off 
    to 
    Buffalo 

    Changing 
    planes 
    in Pittsburgh 

    We 
    got 
    grounded 
    in 
    a storm 

    Now, 
    I 
    would 
    give 
    anything 

    To 
    be 
    on 
    that 
    flyer's 


    arm 

    Verse 2
    We 
    played 
    cards, 
    mostly 
    blackjack 

    As 
    we sat 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    tarmac 

    We 
    sang 
    songs 
    we 
    knew 
    in 
    Spanish 

    As 
    we 
    both 
    loved 

    songs 
    of 
    language 

    He'd 
    heard 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    radio 

    I'd 
    seen 
    the 
    flyers 
    on 
    San 
    Antone 

    Now, 
    I 
    would 
    give 
    anything 

    To 
    have 
    that 
    flyer 
    for 
    my 
    own 


    Verse 3
    God 
    bless 
    the 
    fly
    er 

    Who 
    would 
    be 
    flying 
    home 
    to
    night 

    I 
    would 
    give 
    anything 

    To see 
    that 
    flyer, 
    flyin' 
    tonight 

    Verse 4

    He said 
    he'd 
    never 
    married 

    Cause, 
    his 
    heart 
    was 
    in 
    the clouds 

    And 
    I 
    said 
    I 
    was 
    too 
    clum
    sy 

    That 
    I 
    broke 
    the 
    wings 
    of 
    the 
    loves 
    I 
    found 

    He 
    shouted 
    out 
    his 
    name 
    to 
    me 

    As 
    I 
    ran 
    to 
    make 
    my 
    flight 

    Now, 
    I 
    would 
    give 
    anything 

    To see 
    that 
    fly

    Interlude 1
    flyin' 
    tonight 




    One 
    year 
    I 
    Verse 5
    watched 
    a 
    war 
    in 
    London 

    In 
    the 
    air
    port 
    leaving 
    London 

    And 
    I 
    wondered 
    if 
    I'd 
    know 
    him 

    If 
    I 
    saw 
    his 
    wings 
    in 
    motion 

    Did 
    I 
    leave 
    my heart 
    in Pittsburgh 

    In 
    the 
    lightening 
    of 
    that 
    flight? 

    I 
    wish 
    that 
    you 
    could 
    tell 
    me 
    now 

    Will he 
    be 
    flyin' 
    home 
    tonight? 


    Verse 6
    God 
    bless 
    the fly
    er 

    Who 
    would 
    be 
    flying 
    home 
    tonight 

    I 
    would 
    give 
    anything 

    To see 
    that 
    flyer, 
    flyin' 
    tonight 


    Verse 7
    God 
    bless 
    the fly
    er 

    Who 
    would 
    be 
    flying 
    home 
    tonight 

    I 
    would 
    give 
    anything 

    To see 
    that

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
