Capo on the 2nd fret as recorded.
C/G
I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska,
F
The plane departed Halifax, connecting in Chicago's O'Hare
G
While on the ground the passenger said from the seat behind me,
C/G
'My god they're throwing guitars out there!'
The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror,
F
at the action on the tarmac and knowing whose projectiles these would be...
G
so before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees,
C/G
who showed complete indifference towards me.
<Chorus as follows>
-=-=-=-
C/G F C/G
U - nited United... You broke my Taylor gui - tar,
C/G F C/G
U - nited United ... some big help you are
G
You broke it you should fix it
F
You're liable just admit it
G F C/G G
I should have flown with someone else, or gone by car...
F C/G G C/G
'cause U - nited breaks guitars!
-=-=-=-
C/G
When we landed in Nebraska I confirmed what I'd suspected,
F
My Tayor'd been the victum of a vicious act of malious at O'Hare
G
so began a year long saga - of pass the buck - don't ask me
C/G
and 'I'm sorry sir your claim can go nowhere"...
So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli,
F
Including kind Ms. Irlwig, who says the final word from them is "no".
G
I've heard all your excuses, and I've chased your wild gooses,
C/G
And this attitude of yours I say must go!
<Chorus>
F
Well I won't say that I'll never fly with you again cause maybe
to save the world I probubly would, but that won't likely happen,
Dm G
and if it did I wouldn't bring my luggage,
F G
'cause you'd just go and break it - into a thousand peices,
F
just like you broke my heart...
C/G G C/G
when U - nited breaks guitars...
<Chorus>
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
