Jason Aldean - Fly Over States


BM7 = 020202


Intro - G


(VERSE 1)
         G
A couple guys in first class on a flight 
                         Bm
From new York to Los Angeles, 

Kinda making small talk killing time, 

Flirting with the flight attendants, 
Cadd9                        Am
 30,000 feet above, could be Oklahoma, 
G
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms, 
                     Bm
Man it all looks the same, 

Miles and miles of back roads and highways, 

Connecting little towns with unknown names, 
Cadd9                                          Am       D
 Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere,


(CHORUS)
              Em7                C
They've never drove through Indiana, 
                G
Met the men who plowed that earth, 
                   D                          Bm7
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me, 
            Em7               C
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas, 
                  D                      C
They'd understand why god made those fly over states


(VERSE 2)
I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul
Road and rails under their feet, Yeah that sounds like a first class seat



(CHORUS)
       Em7             C
On the plains of Oklahoma 
              G
Where the windshield sunset in your eyes
       D                  Bm7
Like a watercolor painted sky
            Em7                  C        
You'd think heavens doors have opened
                  D
You'll understand why god made 
          C
Those fly over states


(Lead - Em7 - Cadd9 - G - D - Bm7)


       G               Cadd9
Take a ride across the badlands
G 
Feel that freedom on your face
D                       Bm7
Breathe in all that open space
       G             Cadd9
Meet a girl from Amarillo
                  D
You'll understand why god made
                  C 
Why you'd want to plant your stakes
             G
In those fly over states

Outro - Em7 - Cadd9 - G - D - ( Bm7 )
