[Verse 1]
[Am]A Poor Avi[E]ator[Am]
A poor aviator lay dying
At the end of a bright summer's [E]day
And his com[Am]rades were
gathered [E]around [Am]him
[E]To carry his fragments [Am]away
He spat out a valve and a gasket,
And he stirred in the sump where he [E]lay,
And [Am]to his sad comrades around him,
These [E]sorrowful words
he did [Am]say.[E][Am]
Take the manifold out of my larynx
Take the cylinder out of my [E]brain
Take the pis[Am]ton rods out of my kidney
An[E]d assemble the engine a[Am]gain
I'll be riding a cloud in the morning
No wingman beside me to [E]course
So [Am]take my dog tags to the carnal,
And [E]send my regards to
the [Am]force.[E][Am]
Forgot by the land that bore us,
Betrayed by the ones we held [E]dear,
The [Am]good have all long gone before us
[F]An [Am]d only [E]the evil are here[Am]
So stand to your glasses steady
This world is a world full of [E]lies
Here's a [Am]toast to those dead already
And here's to [Dm]the [E]next
man who [Am]dies[E][Am]
You
