[Verse]
  C            F          C
Leavin' home, out on the road
 F                C
I've been down before
 
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
            F                C
I've been thinkin' about my home
 
But my love light seems so far away
       Bb             F        C
And I feel like it's all been done
 
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
               Bb       F      C
You know I've got to be movin' on
 
 
[Chorus]
C      Bb       F      C
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
 Bb             F        C
Don't carry me too far away
        Bb      F      C
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
            Bb             F      C
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

[Verse]
 C                  F         C
Goodbye to all my friends at home
     F                   C
Goodbye to people I've trusted
 
I've got to go out and make my way
        F                              C
I might get rich you know I might get busted
 
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
      Bb         F       C
As I get on the Seven-O-Seven
 
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
             Bb                 F
You know you got to go through hell
           C
Before you get to heaven
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F      C
Big ol' jet airliner
 Bb             F        C
Don't carry me too far away
        Bb      F      C
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
            Bb             F      C
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

[Verse]
 C                    F       C
Touchin' down in New England town
 F                    C
Feel the heat comin' down
 
I've got to keep on keepin' on
              F                  C
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
 
And I'm goin' with some hesitation
              Bb     F      C
You know that I can surely see
 
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Bb     F          C
Funky shit goin' down in the city
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F      C
Big ol' jet airliner
 Bb             F        C
Don't carry me too far away

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
            Bb             F      C
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
 Bb             F        C
Don't carry me too far away
        Bb      F      C
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
            Bb             F      C

Finally, someone got it right !!!! Great job. I like the alternate choices as well and the fact that you put it in chords as opposed to the way others show it. I know I am capapble of figuring what strings to hit when I play it and appreciate it in the form you did it in. Makes it so much easier to understand and play.

Thanks, great job Don. Easy to play and follow.

Stevie Guitar Miller's best! Thank you, Don!
