D
Standing at the window
Gmaj7
A farmer's wife in Oxfordshire
D
Glances at the clock it's nearly time for tea
She doesn't see
Gmaj7 Gm6
The phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings
Doesn't hear the engine sing
Em7
But in the cockpit's techno glow
A
Behind the Ray Ban shine
Bdim
The kid from Cleveland
In the comfort of routine
Gmaj7
Scans his dials and smiles
Bdim Gmaj7

Em7
There is no right or wrong

D/A A7
And blue skies and flight flight flight
D/A
The beauty of military life
A7 D
No questions only orders and flight only flight
Em7
What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream
A7
The eternal child leafs through his War magazine
And his kind Uncle Sam feeds ten trillion in
D
Change into the total entertainment
Combat video game
Em7
And up here in the stands
The fans are goin' wild
A7

A7
Like BB gun days
When knives pierce autumn leaves
But that's okay see the children bleed

It'll look great on the TV
Bm Gmaj7 Gm6
D Gmaj7
And in Tripoli another ordinary wife
Em7
Stares at the dripping her old man hadn't
A7
Time to fix
Too busy mixing politics and rhythm
