Flying With The King(Chords)

	        


 



verse 1 
G 
It was Ansett 603 
         Em 
He sits down next to me 
         C                            G 
We were flyin' out across the Great Divide 
G 
Bound for WA 
             Em 
He shook my hand and said g'day 
C                              D  
There I was, Slim Dusty by my side 

 

        C      D       G 
I was flyin' with the king 
               Em 
Ridin' on the wind 
                        C 
A small town boy from nowhere 
                    D 
My head up in the clouds 
          C      D          G 
All the times I heard him play 
                Em 
And here I was today 
        C             D               G 
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king 


verse 2 

      G 
Was Trumby ridin' slow 
 Em 
30,000 feet below 
  C                                    G 
Way down there round a fire of gidgee coal 
  G 
The desert stretchin' on 
         Em 
Home to countless Dusty songs 
    C                                D 
He was the man who walked a country mile 

(Repeat through the rest of the song) 

Chorus 

I was flyin' with the king 
Ridin' on the wind 
A small town boy from nowhere 
My head up in the clouds 
All the times I heard him play 
And here I was today 
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king 

(solo) 

BRIDGE 

Before I knew the wheels touched down 
He smiled and said 'I'll see you round' 
There was so much more to say but he was gone 
An' now he's gone? 

Chorus
 
I was flyin' with the king 
Ridin' on the wind 
A small town boy from nowhere 
My head up in the clouds 
All the times I heard him play 
And here I was today 
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king
