I don't know how to land
      D                            G                A

   Left my happy homeland in a Zero

   I got engine trouble so I    couldn't be a hero     (Do you think I care?)
 A
   Now I ll keep my two feet on the ground
 D
   Cause when you're in the clouds
 G                                    A
   Everybody tries to shoot you down

 A
   On an island there ain't too much to do
 D                        G                  A
   Look after number one    because I think    I can see

Lee Marvin chasing after you
 A
   Take me, wake me
Tell me when it's over
I've been waiting fourty years
I can't wait any longer
No, no, no no no, not for you
