With your
D
photographs of Kitty Hawk and the bi
A
planes on your wall,
you were
Am
always Amy Johnson from the time
G
that you were small.
No
D
schoolroom kept you grounded while your thoughts
A
could get away.
You were
Am
taking off in Tiger Moths, your wings
G
against the
Em
brushstrokes of the
A
day.
Are you there
D
_ on the
G
tarmac with the win
Em
ter in
A
your
D
hair?
By the
G
empty hanger doors
Em
_ you
A
stop and
Hm
stare.
Hm(maj7)
Leave the
D
oil drums behind
D5
_ you; they won't
Em7
care.

Oh, are you there?

Oh you
D
wrapped me up in a leather coat and you took
A
me for a ride.
We were
Am
drifting with the tail wind when the run
G
way came in sight.
The
D
clouds came up to gather us and the cock
A
pit turned to white.
When I
Am
looked the sky was empty; I suppose
G
you never
Em
saw the landing
A
lights.
Are you there
D
_ in your
G
jacket with the grease
Em
stain and
A
the
D
tear?
G
Caught up in the slip
Em
stream
A
of the
Hm
dare.
Hm(maj7)
The
D
compass roads will guide
D5
_ you any
Em7
where.

Oh, are you there?

The
D
sun comes up on Icarus as the night
A
birds sail away
and
Am
lights the maps and diagrams that Le
G
onardo makes.
You can
D
see Faith, Hope and Charity as they bank
A
above the fields.
You can
Am
join the flying circus; you can touch
G
the morning
Em
air against your wheels.
A
Are you there
D
do you
G
have a thought for me
Em
that you
A
can
D
share?
Oh, I
G
never thought you'd take
Em
me
A
una
Hm
wares.

call me if you ev
