Verse 1
(B major) was sev (E minor) en below,
there was inches (C major) of snow
as we boarded (B major) the terminal bus.
(E minor) The people were many, in (C major) hardly any,
just a (B major) company salesman and us
The (E major) captain re (B major) quested,
(E major) please (A minor) all get on board,
we'll be leav (E minor) ing within the half (D major) hour (C major)
I (B major) (E minor) sat in the ship trying
to read (C major) a new book
while the aeroplane (B major) gathered up (E minor) power (D major)
(C major) And (D major) then we took (G major) to the sky (B major)
with (E minor) silver illustrious wings (B major)
I (C major) looked (D major) down to (G major) the land (B major)
and I (E minor) saw lots of (D major) miniature
things (E minor) (C major) (B major) (E minor) (C major) (B major)
I (E minor) loosened my belt and decided
(C major) I felt that (B major) it wasn't so bad in the (E minor) sky
And though I condemned it,
I had (C major) to defend it,
so glad (B major) that I gave it a try
We (E minor) (B major) (E major) left all behind,
I had (A minor) more on my mind
than a jour (E minor) ney at last could afford (D major)
(C major) The (B major) cap (E minor) tain said,
please get down (C major) on your knees,
we have (B major) an intruder on (E minor) board (D major)
My (C major) stom (D major) ach grows (G major) a piece, (B major)
I'm (E minor) on it with nothing to (B major) lose
These (C major) things (D major) don't (G major) happen to (B major) me,
they (E minor) only appear (D major) on the (E minor)
news (C major) (B major) (E minor) (C major)
(B major) My chil (E minor) dren were scared,
none (C major) of them dared move (B major) this way or that,
we all (E minor) cried
We circled the towers for sev (C major) eral hours,
the wife (B major) just kept screaming out why
With (E minor) (B major) a gun (E minor) in (E major) one hand,
(E minor) a gren (A minor) ade in some sand,
he (B major) appeared (E minor) and he sat by my (D major) side
(C major) He said, (B major) (E minor) don't be afraid,
just (C major) keep well behaved
and he smiled (B major) undeniable pride (E minor) (D major)
(C major) We came (D major) down (G major) helpless,
(B major) aimless at the (E minor) airport to re (B major) fuel
The (E minor) (C major) men (D major) had circled (G major) around (B major)
and the (E minor) engines star (D major) ted to (E minor) storm
(C major) (B major) (E minor) (C major) (B major) (D major) (C major)
(D major) (C major) (D major)
I've (A major) (D major) carried on and you
may (A major) think I'm wrong
My reasons (G major) may seem (A major) hard to (D major) see (A major)
Such (D major) a decision sustain (A major) s my ambition
Of see (G major) ing my coun (A major) try go free (D major)
Oh, I have (B major) misbehaved
But our grandfather's (G major) faith (D major)
Gained nothing (G major) from mean (A major)
ingless lives (D major) (A major)
When (D major) I have died, some say (A major) that I tried
To bet (G major) ter our children's (A major)
(E minor) lives (C major) (B major) (E minor) (C major) (B major)
He said, (E minor) get down please
And he fell (C major) on his knees
And he crashed (B major) by the window above (E minor)
And bullets were fired
at the man (C major) who was hired
To protest (B major) to the world for some (E minor) love
A shatter (E major) of glass, a (A minor) hug of man -gas
Fight (E minor) ing for every short (D major) breath
(C major) He (B major) was shot (E minor) in the head,
the hijack (C major) er lay dead
And the world (B major) was so near of his (E minor) death (D major)
(C major) Here (D major) is the nine (G major) o 'clock news, (B major)
the (E minor) hijacker's been shot (B major)
A (C major) spokesman (D major) for (G major) the army
(B major) said he (E minor) asked for (D major) what he got (E minor)
He (D major) (C major) never (D major) asked (G major) for ransom, (B major)
he (E minor) never asked to go free (B major)
(C major) His name (D major) is still (G major) unknown
(B major) and prob (E minor) ably al (D major) ways will (E minor)
