Tough chords to figure on this one. A lot of unusual progression. Just put it on my website here this afternoon, gonna post it here too. Based on the recording from "In the Orchard" LP.


Thank You, Republic Airlines

  C                  D#dim                 G7                  C
  Flying through the Michigan skies with a song in my innocent heart,
                        D#dim            G7                        C     C7
  I placed myself in professional hands, masters of the traveler's art.
         F                            C        G/B       A7
  When I opened my guitar case at the end of a beautiful flight,
      D                       D7               G                   G7
  I'm sure you can imagine my feelings, as I beheld this beautiful sight:
  
  
  C                                                            G7
  Thank you, Republic Airlines, for breaking the neck on my guitar!
                                     C    G/B Bbdim A7
  I arrived to do a concert with the Kingston Tri - o, 
  D7                           G
  Opened my guitar case with a smile con brio.
  C                                                            F
  Thank you, Republic Airlines, what a joy to the musician you are!
         Fm                     C  G/B   A7
  What a zest you've added to pedestrian skies!
         F            Fm               C    G/B   A7
  It was boring to be flying where the wild goose flies, 
          F          Fm             C     G/B    A7
  But the tedium was broken by your wonderful surprise 
           D7        G7            C
  When you broke the neck on my guitar.
  
  
              G
  There could be no satisfaction greater than if
                                          C
  You should be the next to go the way of Braniff!
  

Still a lot to do to my website... Hope I can have it finished this Spring.
