C C             F F          C C    F F              C C
Leavin' home, out on the road I've been down before
C C F F C C
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane I've been thinkin' about my home
C C Bb Bb F F C C
But my love light seems so far away and I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay you know I've got to be movin' on

Chorus
B B F F C C
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay


Verse 2
C C F F C C F F C C
Goodbye to all my friends at home goodbye to people I've trusted
C C F F C C
I've got to go out and make my way I might get rich you know I might get busted
C C B B F F C C
But my heart keeps calling me backwards as I get on the seven oh seven
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven

Chorus


Verse 3
C C F F C C F F C C
Touchin' down in new england town feel the heat comin' down
C C F F C C
I've got to keep on keepin' on you know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
C C B B F F C C
And I'm goin' with some hesitation You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that Funky shit goin' down in the city



Chorus
B B F F C C
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay


Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Chorus (with fade)
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's there that I belong

About this song: Jet Airliner

Jet Airliner is a song composed by Paul Pena and popularized by the Steve Miller Band. Pena wrote and recorded the song in 1973 for his New Train album; however, due to conflicts between Pena and his label, New Train sat unreleased until 2000. Miller, having heard a bootleg recording of the album, decided to record "Jet Airliner" for his band's Book Of Dreams album in 1977. It was concurrently released as a single, and reached #8 on the Billboard chart.
