This Flight Tonight (Fort Pierce 1982 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
"Look out [G]the left"
the captain said
"The lights [Gm]down there
that's [G]where we'll land"
[C]Saw a falling star burning
High above the Las Vegas [G]sand

[Verse 2]
[G]
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south
between [C]the trailer
Not the early one that you wish upon
Not the northern one that
guides in [G]the sailors

[Verse 3]
[G]
You've got that touch
so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't [C]talk to you, babe,
you know I get so weak
Sometimes I think that love is just [G]mythical

[Verse 4]
[G]
Up there's a heaven,
down there's a town
Blackness everywhere a little
light's shine
[C]Blackness,
blackness draggin' me down
Come on light a candle in this
heart of [G]mine

[Verse 5]
[G]
Starbright, starbright,
you've got the lovin' that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
[F]Should not have got on[C]
this flight to[G]night

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 6]
I'm drinkin' [G]sweet champagne,
got the headphones up high
Can't numb you,
can't drum you out of my mind

[Verse 7]
They're [C]singin'- "Goodbye [F]baby,
[C]Baby [F]bye- [C]bye,
Ooh! [G]love is blind"

[Verse 8]
[G]Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on, baby
Hope they've [C]fi nally fixed
your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet [G]again,
babe

[Verse 9]
[G]Starbright, starbright,
you've got the lovin' that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
[F]Should not have got [C]on
this flight to[G]night
[F]Should not have got [C]on
this flight to[G]night

[Outro 1]
[G][G]
