Christmas At The Airport(Chords)

	        
Intro: A  


Verse 
                 Cm 
Outside the taxi window 
E               A 
On the way to catch my flight 
                     Cm 
I noticed snowflakes playing 
E                    A 
In the ever failing light 
         F#            Cm 
When you dropped me at departures 
E       C#m          A     F#m 
It was really coming down 
                   Cm 
Deep and crisp and even 
        E             A 
And it settled on the ground 

              D          E               A 
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the airport 
                    Cm 
All the planes are grounded 
  E                    A 
And the fog is rolling in 
               D         E 
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the 
A               F#m 
airport   this year 

                     Cm 
Doors are locked and bolted 
E                       A      
Let the festivities begin 


                 Cm 
The terminal was seething 
E                      A 
Without much Christmas cheer 
                    Cm 
So I found an empty closet 
   E               A 
And bedded down in there 
    F#           Cm 
When I woke much later 
E        C#m                A       F#m 
I was  really   quite    alone 
                Cm 
Checkin' was deserted 
E            A 
Everyone had gone 

              D          E 
It looks like Christmas, Christmas 
       A 
at the airport 
                Cm 
I took a set of X rays 
E                      A 
and they came out very well 
              D          E 
It looks like Christmas, Christmas 
       A                F#m 
at the airport this year 
                Cm 
Now I'm doing Santa's sleigh ride 
E                       A      
on the baggage carousel 

              D          E               A 
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the airport 
                    Cm 
I should be at the table 
E                        A 
with all my kith and kin 
              D          E 
It looks like Christmas, Christmas 
       A            F#m 
at the airport this year 
                  Cm 
Don't save me any turkey 
E                         A      
I found a burger in a bin
