[Verse 1]
D G
That old Kentucky moon was shining bright as day,
A7 G D
the stars were twinkling in the milky way,
D G Em
the pilot said if you look close there’s Frankfort on the right.
A7 D
I flew over our house last night.

[Chorus]
G D
Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep
G D A7
and thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep.
D G Em
So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right.
A7 D
I flew over our house last night.

[Verse 2]
D G
For just one second I thought I was back in town,
A7 G D
the man your friends all say has only brought you down.
D G Em
The hostess said me: sir are you sure that you’re alright?
A7 D
I flew over our house last night.

[End-Chorus]
G D
Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep
G D A7
and thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep.
D G Em
So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right.
A7 D A7 D
I flew over our house last night.
