Verse 1
{Intro}
[D] [G/D] [D] [G/D] [D] [D/G] [D] [G/D]
Verse 1
With your [D]photographs of Kitty Hawk
And the [A]biplanes on your wall
You were [Am]always Amy Johnson
From the [G]time that you were small
No [D]schoolroom kept you grounded
While your [A]thoughts could get away
You were [Am]taking off in Tiger Moths
Your [G]wings against the [Em]brush-strokes of the [A][Asus4]day[A]
Chorus
Are you [D][Dsus2][D]there?[D][Dsus4]
On the [G]tarmac with the [Em]winter [A]in your [D][Dsus2]hair[D][Dsus4]
By the [G]empty hangar [Em]doors, you [A]stop and [Bm]stare[Bm(maj7)]
Leave the [D]oil-drums [Dmb5]behind you, they won't [Em7]care
[A]Oh, are you [D][Am][F][G][D]there?[G][F][Am]
Verse 2
Oh, you [D]wrapped me up in a leather coat
And you [A]took me for a ride
We were [Am]drifting with the tail-wind
When the [G]runway came in sight
The [D]clouds came up to gather us
And the [A]cockpit turned to white
When I [Am]looked, the sky was empty
I [G]suppose you never [Em]saw the [A][Asus4]landing-lights[A]
Chorus
Are you [D][Dsus2]there?[D][Dsus4]
In your [G]jacket with the [Em]grease stain [A]and the [D][Dsus2]tear[D][Dsus4]
[G]Caught up in the [Em]slipstream [A]of the [Bm]dare[Bm(maj7)]
The [D]compass rose will[Dmb5] guide you [Em7]anywhere
[A]Oh, are you [D][Am][F][G][D]there?[G][F][Am]
{Instrumental Break}
[Bm] [Bmaj7] [Bm7] [Bm6] [Em] [Emaj7] [Em7] [Em6] [C] [Cmaj7] [C7] [C6] [D] [D7] [Bm] [Am] [Bb] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [Dm]
[Dm7] [Bb] [A7]
{Verse 3]
The [D]sun comes up on Icarus as the [A]night-birds sail away
And [Am]lights the maps and diagrams
That [G]Leonardo made
You [D]can see Faith, Hope and [A]Charity
As they [Am]bank above the fields
You can [G]join the flying circus
You can [Em]touch the morning air against your [A][Asus4]wheels[A]
{Chorus]
Are you [D][Dsus2]there?[D][Dsus4]
Do you have a [G]thought for [Em]me that [A]you can [D][Dsus2]share?[D][Dsus4]
Oh I [G]never thought you'd [Em]take me[A] [Bm]unawares[Bm(maj7)]
Just [D]call me if you [Dmb5]ever need [Em7]repairs
[A]Oh, are you [D][Am][F][G][D]there?[G][F][Am]
