Listen to the rumble, hear old Merlin roar 
    D                                  G 
I'm flying over Moji like I never flewbefore 
 G                                                    C 
Hearthe mighty rushof the slipstream; hear old Merlinmoan 
     D                                               G 
I'll wait a bit and say a prayer and hope it gets me home

I'm turning on the downwind leg, my prop is overrun 
G                                           C 
My coolants overheated, the gauge says one-two-one 
     D                                               G 
You better get the crash crew out and get 'm on the run

   D                                                   G 
I cannot call the crash crew out, this is their coffee hour 
  G                                                     C 
You're not cleared in the pattern, now that is plain to see 
   D                                     G 
So take it on around again; you ain't no VIP

I'm turning on the base leg; I see your biscuit gun 
G                                                 C 
My engine's running rougher; the coolant's gonna blow 
    D                                      G

We'd like to let you in right now but we ain't got the power 
 G                                                 C 
We'll send a note through channels and wait for a reply 
 D                                                 G 
'Til we get permission back, just chase around the sky

 G                                               C 
I'm gonna land this Mustang, no matter what you say 
     D                                                G 
I'm gonna get my chart squared up before the Judgment Day

We're trying hard to help you, just give us one more hour

Patience is a virtue, as fighter pilots know 
   D                                                G

I'm calling from the Great Beyond, my flying days are done 
 G                                       C 
I'm sorry I exploded, I didn't make the grade 
  D                                                G 
I guess I should have waited 'til the landing was okayed 
 

 
 G                                          C
