Oh, Jessie I’d like to be
C D G/D G C Am C
One of those men upon the screen
G C G/B D7
With an elegant lady and a cafe in Paris
Am G/B C D G/D G C Am C
Serving Pernot and Kalua with cream
G Am
You can see it I know
C D G/D G C Am C
All the doors have been closed in my face
G C G/B D7
And the drinks at the Casbah
Am G/B C D G/D G
Run a mile or more from this place
Bm Em
And oh, Jessie won’t you look at the planes
Bm Em
Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what they say
Eb G
That there’s a capital G in the name of the game
Em F D
And the runway’s a home for my silver-red plane
C D G C
And oh, won’t you look at the planes
D G
Riding down the skyway
C D
Jessie ain’t those wings just fine
G G/F G/E G/D Am D
Don’t it make you want to fly someday
G Am C G/B Em D G/D D
G Am
Why friend am I so still
C G/D G C Am C
Tied to my job with time to kill
G C G/B D7
Do I still bear the traces of old Don Quixote
Am G/B C D G/D G
Tilting giants on imaginary hills
Bm Em
And oh, Jessie won’t you look at the planes
Bm Em
Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what they say
Eb G
That there’s a capital G in the name of the game
Em F D
And the runway’s a home for my silver-red plane
C D G C
And oh, won’t you look at the planes
D G
Riding down the skyway
C D
Jessie ain’t those wings just fine
G G/F G/E G/D Am D
Don’t it make you want to fly someday
