I Flew Over Our House Last Night D G That old Kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day A G D The stars were twinklin' in the milky way G The pilot said "If you look close, there's Frankfort on the right" A D D7 I flew over our house last night G D Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep G D A And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep D G So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right A D I flew over our house last night G For just one second I thought I was back in town A G D The man your friends all say has only brought you down G The airline hostess asked me sir "Are you sure that you're alright" A D D7 I flew over our house last night G D Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep G D A And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep D G I wondered did you toss n' turn as I roared out of sight A D I flew over our house last night
