Capo 2nd fret

 

Silver (D)wings shining in the sunlight,

Roaring (Em7)engines (G)(hold) headed somewhere in (A)flight.

Oh, they're taking you a(D)way, and leaving me lonely,

Silver (Em7)wings (A7 short) slowly fading out of (D)sight. (D7)

 

Don't (G)leave me, I (A)cry,

Don't (D)take that (A)airplane (D)ride.

But you (E)locked me out of your mind,

And left me standing here be(A7short)hind. (hold)

 

Silver (D)wings shining in the sunlight,

Roaring (Em7)engines (G)(hold) headed somewhere in (A)flight.

Oh, they're taking you a(D)way, and leaving me lonely,

Silver (Em7)wings (A7short) slowly fading out of (D)sight. (G)(D) (hold)
