Verse 1: 
F             Eb   Bb 
Riding on the moon path 
       F             Eb   Bb 
in the silver of the night 
    F                Eb 
The fragrance on the air 
       Bb       F   Eb Bb 
was of another time 
  C                Bb    F 
I cried in all my innocence 
         C          Bb    F 
you were dressed in white 
    C           Bb      F 
and even if I'd had the strength 
  C                 Bb     F 
I couldn't move to save my life 


Verse 2:
F             Eb   Bb 
The fear and the thrill 
       F             Eb   Bb 
of the beast at the window 
    F                Eb  Bb 
The shivers and the chills 
       F           Eb Bb 
on the hottest of nights 
  C                        Bb    F 
he walked right through my open door 
   C          Bb      F 
As I began to run, he threw 
      C            Bb         F 
some gold upon the floor, and said 
    C 
There's plenty more 
      Bb        F 
where that came from 



F                 Bb F 
I'm tired of the bombs 
F                       C 
I'm tired of the bullets 
F 
I'm the aviator 
Eb                    Bb 
A dream's a dream whatever it seems 
            F 
whatever it seems

Verse 3: 
F                 Eb     Bb 
I flew along the lighted street 
  F              Eb   Bb 
I flew above the town 
   F           Eb     Bb 
I flew in ever rising circles 
F             Eb      Bb 
ever further from the ground 
C             Bb      F 
As I begin to lose my breath 
C             Bb     F 
printed faxes turn a spin 
 C               Bb     F 
A distant corner of the room 
     C           Bb     F 
will open up and let me in 


 
F                 Bb F 
I'm tired of the news 
F                    C 
I'm tired of the weather 
F 
I'm the aviator 
Eb                          Bb 
I'm tired of the same thing every day 
              F 
Whatever they say
