Verse 
D               G 
Amelia, Amelia Earhart,  
D                          G 
after her plane was torn apart  
     A                     G 
and bursting through the trees 
       D 
She remembered picking lemons  
      G 
with William Randolph Hearst  
     D                 
and how a spinning plane propeller  
        G              
turned liquid in the sun 

A G And as the cockpit burned, A G her hair filled with sparks, A G but when the glass exploded in, A G everything went dark.

Verse D G Amelia, Amelia Earhart, D G after her plane was torn apart A G and bursting through the trees D She remembered sipping consomme' G with William Howard Taft D and a boy with perfect skin G who smelled like mustard gas
A G And as the cockpit burned, A G she couldn't help but smile, A G recalling a dancing bear A G she'd seen as a child
