     D            D7               G
That old Kentucky moon was shining bright as day
    A                           G     D
The stars were twinkling in the milky way
    D                            G
The pilot said if you look close there's Frankfort on the right
A                          D
I flew over our house last night


Chorus:
G                             D
Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep
G                                D                 A
And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep
   D                         G
So close and yet so far away so wrong and yet so right
A                          D
I flew over our house last night

For just one second I thought I was back in town
The man your friends all say has only brought you down
The airline hostess asked me, "Sir are you sure that you're alright"
I flew over our house last night

Chorus
